Chapter 6.1 Problem 83

Question

Let \({v_{1}, v_{2}, . . . , v_{n}}\) be a basis for a vector space V. Prove that if a linear transformation \(T: V \rightarrow V\) satisfies \(T(v_{i}) = 0\) for i = 1, 2, . . . , n, then T is the zero transformation.

Getting Started: To prove that T is the zero transformation, you need to show that T(v) = 0 for every vector v in V.

(i) Let v be an arbitrary vector in V such that \(v = c_{1}v_{1} + c_{2}v_{2} + . . . + c_{n}v_{n}\).

(ii) Use the definition and properties of linear transformations to rewrite T(v) as a linear combination of \(T(v_{i})\).

(iii) Use the fact that \(T(v_{i}) = 0\) to conclude that T(v) = 0, making T the zero transformation.

{v_1, v_2, . . ., v_n}

T: V rightarrow V

T(v_i) = 0

v = c_1v_1 + c_2v_2 + cdot + c_n v_n

T(v_i)

Solution

Step 1 of 4)

The first step in solving 6.1 problem number 83 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Let \({v_{1}, v_{2}, . . . , v_{n}}\) be a basis for a vector space V. Prove that if a linear transformation \(T: V \rightarrow V\) satisfies \(T(v_{i}) = 0\) for i = 1, 2, . . . , n, then T is the zero transformation.Getting Started: To prove that T is the zero transformation, you need to show that T(v) = 0 for every vector v in V.(i) Let v be an arbitrary vector in V such that \(v = c_{1}v_{1} + c_{2}v_{2} + . . . + c_{n}v_{n}\).(ii) Use the definition and properties of linear transformations to rewrite T(v) as a linear combination of \(T(v_{i})\).(iii) Use the fact that \(T(v_{i}) = 0\) to conclude that T(v) = 0, making T the zero transformation.Text Transcription:{v_1, v_2, . . ., v_n}T: V rightarrow VT(v_i) = 0v = c_1v_1 + c_2v_2 + cdot + c_n v_nT(v_i)
From the textbook chapter Introduction to Linear Transformations you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
