Rank and Nullity of Linear Transformation

Exercise 1:

null space of Linear Transformation

Shaded portion is

Exercise 2:

rangeT of Linear Transformation

Shaded portion in domain is

Shaded portion in co-domain is

Exercise 3:

Consider the linear transformation T: R2 → R2 defined by

 T(x, y) = (x, 2x); x, y ∈ R2

  • Null Space ≡ N(T) = {(0, y) : y }

  • range space
  • Nullity T =

  • Range ≡ R(T) = {(x, ) : x ∈ R}

  • Rank T =

  • range space

    Exercise 4:

    What will be the rank of the matrix of T w.r.t. the standard bases?
