Step by Step Solution

(a) Step1: Definition of Linear Transformation

Consider two linear spaces V and W. A function T is said to be linear transformation if the following holds.

T(f+g)=T(f)+T(g) T(kf)=kT(f)

For all elements f,g of V and k is scalar.

Step2: Explanation of the solution

Consider the transformation as follows.

T:Rn×mF(Rn,Rm) is defined by (T(A))(v )=Av.

Simplify for the linear transformation first condition as follows.

TAv+w=Av+w =Av+AwTAv+w=TAv+TAw

Similarly, simplify for the second condition as follows.

TAkv=Akv =kAv =KTAvTAkv=kTAv

Thus, T is a linear transformation.

(b) Step3: Definition of image and kernel

A linear transformation T:VW is said to be an isomorphism if and only if ker(T)={0} and im(T)=W or dim(V)=dim(W).

Step4: Explanation of the solution

Consider for a non-zero vector v as follows.

TAv=0 Av=0

Then by equality of two matrix as follows.

v=0

Thus, the kernel of T contains only zero matrix.

(c) Step5: Definition of image and kernel

A linear transformationT:VW is said to be an isomorphism if and only if ker(T)={0} and im(T)=W or dim(V)=dim(W).

Step6: Explanation of the solution

Since, the transformation is linear.

Therefore, the image of T is the linear space of all the linear transformation from Rm to Rn.

Hence, the image of T is the space L(Rm,Rn) of all linear transformation from Rm to Rn.

(d)Step7: Definition of Linear Transformation

Consider two linear spaces V and W. A function T is said to be linear transformation if the following holds.

T(f+g)=T(f)+T(g) T=(kf)=kT(f)

For all elements f,g of V and k is scalar.

A linear transformation T:VW is said to be an isomorphism if and only if ker(T)={0} and im(T)=W or dim(V)=dim(W).

Step8: Explanation of the solution

Consider the transformation as follows.

T:Rn×mFRn,Rm is defined by (TA)v=Av.

The dimension of the space is as follows.

dimLRm,Rn=dimRn×m =mndimLRm,Rn=mn

Thus, the dimension of L(Rm,Rn) is mn.
