Exercise · ZW-RANK-NULLITY-THEOREM-005 · ★☆☆ Basic
Choose one option.
Injective means the kernel is \(\{0\}\), of dimension \(0\), so \(\dim\operatorname{Im}T=3-0=3\), not \(5\).
For a linear transformation \(T\) with finite-dimensional domain \(V\), the dimension of the kernel plus that of the image equals the dimension of \(V\).
