Exercise 3.F.10

Answers

Proof. Suppose ψ W. For the additive property, we have

(S + T)(ψ) = ψ (S + T) = ψ S + ψ T = S(ψ) + T(ψ)

Where the second equation follows from the distributive property of linear maps. Hence (S + T) = S + T.

For the scalar multiplication, let v V . We have

((λT)(ψ))(v) = (ψ (λT))(v) = ψ T(λv) = (T(ψ))(λv) = λ(T(ψ))(v)

Thus (λT)(ψ) = λT(ψ) which implies (λT) = λT, as desired. □
