Notation :

• Field F is R or C.

• N (T ):=Null space of T and R(T ):=Range space of T .

1. Consider P3 [x] be space of all polynomials of degree ≤ 3, over the field R.


Define T (P (x)) = xP ′ (x) − P (x), for all P (x) ∈ P3 [x].
(a) Show that T is a linear transformation on P3 [x].
(b) Find N (T ) and R(T ).

2. Let T : P (R)→ P (R) ,(where P (R) is space of all ploynomials over the field R),be defined
by T (f (x)) = f ′ (x).Prove that
(a) T is a linear map.
(b) T is onto, but not one-to-one.

3. Let V and W be vector spaces over the field F with subspaces V1 and W1 , respectively. If
T : V → W is a linear map, prove that T (V1 ) is a subspace of W and that {x ∈ V : T (x) ∈
W1 }is a subspace of V .

4. Let T : R3 (R) → R(R) be a linear map. Describe geometrically the possibilities for the
null space of T .

5. Let T : R3 (R) → R3 (R) be the linear map that reflects a vector in the xy plane. Find the
Linear map.

6. Let P (R) be space of all polynomials over the field R. Define T : P (R)→ P (R) by
Z x
T (f )(x) = f (t)dt
0

for all f ∈ P (R).


Prove that
(a) T is a linear map .
(b) T is one-to-one.
(c) T is not onto.

7. Let V = C(R), the vector space of continuous real-valued functions over the field R. Define
T : V → R by Z 1
T (f ) = f (t)dt
−1
for all f ∈ V .
(a) Show that T is a linear map.
(b) What can you say about injectivity of T ?

8. Give an example of a linear transformation T : R2 → R2 such that N (T ) = R(T ).

9. Suppose V and W are finite-dimensional vector spaces over the field F.


(a) If dim(V ) > dim (W ). Then, show that there is no injective linear map from V to W .
(b)If dim(V ) < dim (W ). Then, show that there is no surjective linear map from V to W .
10. Prove that there does not exist a linear map T : R5 (R) → R5 (R) such that R(T )= N (T ).

11. Let T : V → W be a linear map (where V and W are vector spaces over the field F ) and
{v1 , v2 , ..., vn } is a set of vectors in V such that {T (v1 ), ..., T (vn )} is a linearly independent
set in W . Prove that {v1 , v2 , ..., vn } is linearly independent set in V . Is the converse true?
(If true prove it otherwise give a counterexample.)

12. Let V and W be vector spaces over the F and T : V → W be a linear map.
(a) Prove that T is one-to-one if and only if T carries linearly independent subsets of V
onto linearly independent subsets of W .
(b) Suppose B = {v1 , v2 , ..., vn } is a basis for V and T is one-to-one and onto. Prove that
T (B) = {T (v1 ), T (v2 ), ..., T (vn )} is a basis for W .
