5.2 Rank and Nullity
Let T : V ? W be a linear transformation and assume that V is finite
dimensional. The kernel of T is a subspace of V and its dimension is called
the nullity of T, i.e.
nullity(T) = dim(ker(T)).
The theorem on the dimension of subspaces implies that the nullity is finite
and
nullity(T) ? dim(V ).
The dimension of the image of T is called the rank of T, i.e.
rank(T) = dim(im(T)).
It is not clear a priori that the rank is necessarily finite; we shall prove this
below.
The rank and the nullity of a linear transformation are closely related to
each other
Rank-Nullity Theorem Let T : V ? W be a linear transformation and
assume that V is finite dimensional. Then
nullity(T) + rank(T) = dim(V ).

5.2 Rank and Nullity Let T V W be a linear transformation and .pdf

  • 1. 5.2 Rank and Nullity Let T : V ? W be a linear transformation and assume that V is finite dimensional. The kernel of T is a subspace of V and its dimension is called the nullity of T, i.e. nullity(T) = dim(ker(T)). The theorem on the dimension of subspaces implies that the nullity is finite and nullity(T) ? dim(V ). The dimension of the image of T is called the rank of T, i.e. rank(T) = dim(im(T)). It is not clear a priori that the rank is necessarily finite; we shall prove this below. The rank and the nullity of a linear transformation are closely related to each other Rank-Nullity Theorem Let T : V ? W be a linear transformation and assume that V is finite dimensional.
