Question: Let V and V' be vector spaces over the same field F, and let V be finite dimensional over F. Let dim(V) be the dimension

Let V and V' be vector spaces over the same field F, and let V be finite dimensional over F. Let dim(V) be the dimension of the vector space V over F. Let ∅ : V → V' be a linear transformation. 

a. Show that ∅[VJ is a subspace of V'. 

b. Show that dim(∅[V]) = dim(V) - dim(Ker(∅)).
