Let $T$ be a linear transformation on a finite dimensional vector space
$V$ and let $V_1$ and $V_2$ be subspaces of $V$. then which of the following statements is Corrects ?



$(a)$ $T(V_1cap V_2) = T(V_1) cap T(V_2).$



$(b)$ $T(V_1 cup V_2) = T(V_1) cup T(V_2).$



My attempts : i know that intersection two subspaces is subspaces and union of two subspace need not to be subspaces



so option $a)$ is correct



option $b)$ is not corrects



Is it true ??

    Try approaching the question via definition and element chasing. Suppose that $xin T(V_1cap V_2)$. Then there must be some $yin V_1cap V_2$ such that $T(y)=x$. Does it follow then that $xin T(V_1)$? Does it also follow that $xin T(V_2)$? How about whether or not $xin T(V_1)cap T(V_2)$? (The element $y$ that I point out the existence of plays a critical role in these last few steps). Now... there is one more direction left for part (a) and two directions to do for part (b). Can you continue?

  • Your remarks about intersection and union are correct, nevertheless, that does not completely verify nor refute the equalities. Even if you have established that both sides are subspaces, you still have to show them to be equal.

(a) is false. Take $TcolonmathbbR^2longrightarrowmathbbR^2$ defined by $f(x,y)=(x+y,0)$. If$$V_1=,xinmathbbRtext and V_2=(0,x),,$$then $T(V_1cap V_2)=T(0)=0$, whereas $T(V_1)cap T(V_2)=,xinmathbbR$.



(b) this holds for every funtion (linear or otherwise).

No, in contrary $$T(V_1 cup V_2) = T(V_1) cup T(V_2)$$is the true choice. Note that $$ V_1 cup V_2$$ does not have to be a subspace for the above statement to be true.

    Your reasoning is wrong - the question didn't ask whether any of those sets were subspaces.



    And your conclusions are both wrong as well. Another answer already shows that (a) is false. In fact (b) is true.



    If $yin T(V_1cup V_2)$ then there exists $xin V_1cup V_2$ with $y=T(x)$. But $xin V_1cup V_2$ says $xin V_1$ or $xin V_2$; hence $y=T(x)$ is either in $T(V_1)$ or $T(V_2)$, so $yin T(V_1)cup T(V_2)$.



    So $T(V_1cup V_2)subset T(V_1)cup T(V_2)$. Conversely, $V_1subset V_1cup V_2$ shows that $T(V_1)subset T(V_1cup V_2)$. Similarly $T(V_2)subset T(V_1cup V_2)$, hence $T(V_1)cup T(V_2)subset T(V_1cup V_2)$.

                  And your conclusions are both wrong as well. Another answer already shows that (a) is false. In fact (b) is true.



                  If $yin T(V_1cup V_2)$ then there exists $xin V_1cup V_2$ with $y=T(x)$. But $xin V_1cup V_2$ says $xin V_1$ or $xin V_2$; hence $y=T(x)$ is either in $T(V_1)$ or $T(V_2)$, so $yin T(V_1)cup T(V_2)$.



                  So $T(V_1cup V_2)subset T(V_1)cup T(V_2)$. Conversely, $V_1subset V_1cup V_2$ shows that $T(V_1)subset T(V_1cup V_2)$. Similarly $T(V_2)subset T(V_1cup V_2)$, hence $T(V_1)cup T(V_2)subset T(V_1cup V_2)$.
