a. Suppose T : V W is a linear transformation. Suppose {v1, . . . , vk} V is linearly dependent. Prove that {T (v1), . . . , T (vk)} W is linearly dependent. b. Suppose T : V V is a linear transformation and V is finite-dimensional. Suppose image (T ) = V . Prove that if {v1, . . . , vk} V is linearly independent, then {T (v1), . . . , T (vk)} is linearly independent. (Hint: Use Exercise 12 or Exercise 16.)

ANSWER:Step 1 of 4
a. Show that if the set is linearly dependent, then the set is also linearly dependent
It is known that is a linear transformation and the set in is linearly dependent.
By definition of linear dependence, there exists not all zero constants such that
