**2-1 Linear Transformations,Null Spaces, and Ranges**
For Exercises 2 through 6, prove that T is a linear transformation, and find bases for both N(T) and R(T). Then compute the nullity and rank of T, and verify the dimension theorem. Finally, use the appropriate theorems in this section to determine whether T is one-to-one or onto.

{$w_{1}, w_{2},... ,w_{k}$} be a linearly independent subset of $R(T)$. Prove that if S = {$v_{1}, v_{2},... ,v_{k}$} is chosen so that $T(v_{i}) = w_{i}$ for i = 1, 2,... ,k, then S is linearly independent.

17.Let $V$ and $W$ be finite-dimensional vector spaces and $T: V → W$ be linear.
(a) Prove that if $dim(V) < dim(W)$, then $T$ cannot be onto.
(b) Prove that if $dim(V) > dim(W)$, then $T$ cannot be one-to-one.


20.Let $V$ and $W$ be vector spaces with subspaces $V_{1}$ and $W_{1}$, respectively.
