Exercise 3.F.30

Answers

Proof. We have

dim (null φ1 null φm) = dim V dim ((null φ1 null φm)0) = dim V dim ((null φ1)0 + + (null φ m)0) = dim V dim (span (φ1) + + span (φm)) = dim V dim (span (φ1, ,φm)) = dim V m

Where the first equation follows from 3.106, the second from Exercise 23, the third from Theorem 1 in Chapter 3 notes, the fourth from the definition of the sum of subspaces and the fifth because φ1,,φm is linearly independent. □
