Question: LetVbe a finite dimensional vector space andT:VVbe a linear transform. (i)Prove that if rank(T)= rank(T 2 ) (T 2 =TT, composition ofTwith itself ), then
LetVbe a finite dimensional vector space andT:VVbe a linear transform.
(i)Prove that if rank(T)= rank(T2) (T2=TT, composition ofTwith itself ), then range(T)
ker(T) ={0}.
(ii)Give an example to show that if rank(T)= rank(T2) does not hold, the conclusion in (i) may not be true.
