stud Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) I need help with question from homework in linear algebra. This question (linear transformation): http://i43.tinypic.com/15reiic.gif According to theorem dimensions: dim(V) = dim(Ker(T)) + dim(Im(T)). dim(Ker(T))=2. dim(V) in R^4, meaning =4. We can therefore conclude that dim(Im(T))=2. But how can find this specific linear transformation? Please help me to solve this problem. Thanks. Edited January 16, 2012 by stud

You are given two vectors in the kernel of T. That does not define T uniquely. You are only asked to find some transformation with the specified kernel, not any specific one. There are, in fact, infinitely many solutions to your problem.
stud Posted January 17, 2012 Author Posted January 17, 2012 Can you please guide me to solve? I can not figure out how to solve it. Thx.
