Question: Let L: U V be a linear function, and let W U be a subspace of the domain space. (a) Prove that Y

Let L: U → V be a linear function, and let W ⊂ U be a subspace of the domain space.
(a) Prove that Y = {L[w] | w ∈ W} ⊂ rng L ⊂ V is a subspace of the range.
(b) Prove that dim Y ≤ dim W. Conclude that a linear transformation can never increase the dimension of a subspace.
