Exercise 2.4.21

Answers

First we prove the independence of {Tij}. Suppose that i,jaijTij = 0. We have that

( i,jaijTij)(vk) = iaijTik(vk) = iaikwi = 0.

This means aik = 0 for all proper i since {wi} is a basis. And since k is arbitrary we have that aik = 0 for all i and k.

Second we prove that [Tij]βγ = Mij. But this is the instant result of

Tij(vj) = wj

and

Tij(vk) = 0

for kj. Finally we can observe that Φ(β) = γ is a basis for Mm×n(𝔽) and so Φ is a isomorphism by Exercise 2.4.15.
