2. Consider the vector space C over the field C. Give an example of a function φ : C → C
such that φ(w + z) = φ(w) + φ(z) for all w, z ∈ C, but φ is not a linear transformation.
3. Find the null space and range space of the following linear transformations. Also find
their respective dimensions and verify the rank-nullity theorem.

M2×2 (R) denotes the vector space of all 2 × 2 real matrices, and AT denotes the
transpose of A.
4. (a) Determine the linear transformation T : R2 → R3 such that T (1, 1) = (1, 0, 2) and

9. Let V be a finite dimensional vector space and let T be a linear transformation from V
to itself. Suppose that rank(T 2 )=rank(T ). Prove that the range and null space of T are
disjoint, i.e., have only the zero vector in common.
10. Let V and W be vector spaces over the field F and T : V → W be a linear transformation.
If {u1 , u2 , . . . un } are in V such that {T (u1 ), T (u2 ), . . . , T (un )} are linearly independent in
W , then show that {u1 , u2 , . . . un } are linearly independent in V . Does the converse hold
true? Justify.
