Homework Statement
Having:
[tex] \displaystyle T:V\to \mathbb{R}[/tex]
[tex] \displaystyle \dim\left( V \right)=n[/tex]
Prove that [tex] \displaystyle \dim\left( \ker \left( T \right) \right)=n\text{ or }n-1[/tex]
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I would start stating the theorem of the dimensions:
[tex] \displaystyle \dim\left( V \right)=\dim\left( \ker \left( T \right) \right)+\dim\left( \operatorname{Im}\left( T \right) \right)[/tex]
But I get nowhere with that theorem. Any clue?
Thanks!
