Suppose that T: V →V is a linear operator and
{v1, . . . , vn} is linearly dependent. Show that
{T (v1), . . . , T (vn)} is linearly dependent.
I'm pretty lost as to how to even go about doing this problem, but I'll take a crack at it.
I'm not sure what the operator "T:V→V" means. It seems it's transforming V to V, so I don't get the point.
If that's what it means then:
{T (v1), . . . , T (vn)} = {v1, . . . , vn}
Thus {T (v1), . . . , T (vn)} is linearly dependent?
