Consider the vector space of 2-by-2 matrices $M_2times 2(mathbbR)$ over $mathbbR$. For a given matrix A=$beginpmatrixa_1,1 &a_1,2\a_2,1&a_2,2endpmatrix$, consider the map $T:M_2times 2(mathbbR) to mathbbR$ given by $T(A)=a_2,1$



$a)$ Show that T is a linear transformation.



Definition: Let $V$ and $W$ be vector spaces over $F$. We call a function $T : V to W$ a linear
transformation from $V$ to $W$ if, for all $x, y in V$ and $c in F$, we have



$(1) T (x + y) = T (x) + T (y)$



$(2) T (cx) = cT (x)$



Using this definition this is the solution I came up with



$T(cbeginpmatrixa_1,1 &a_1,2\a_2,1&a_2,2endpmatrix+beginpmatrixb_1,1 &b_1,2\b_2,1&b_2,2endpmatrix) =c(a_2,1)+(b_2,1)=cT(A)+T(B)$



$b)$ Find a basis for $N(T)$



Definition: Null Space $N(T )=x in V : T (x) = 0$.



Not sure where to begin with this. The following questions I assume can only be solved if finding a solution to $b)$



$c)$ Calculate the dimension of $N(T)$.



$d)$ Find a basis for $R(T)$



Thanks in advance.

          You solution to part (a) seems to be just fine. For part (b):



          Consider what is needed for a matrix $AinmathbbR^(2,2)$ to map to $0$ under $T$, i.e. $T(A)=0$, i.e. $a_2,1=0$. Thus



          $$
          N(T)=AinmathbbR^(2,2)mid a_2,1=0=beginpmatrixa_1,1 &a_1,2\0 &a_2,2endpmatrixinmathbbR^(2,2)
          $$



          The classical basis for $mathbbR^(2,2)$ is the basis associated with the canonical basis for $mathbbR^4$:



          $$
          beginpmatrix1 &0\0 &0endpmatrix, beginpmatrix0 &1\0 &0endpmatrix,beginpmatrix0 &0\1 &0endpmatrix, beginpmatrix0 &0\0 &1endpmatrix
          $$



          You may check that these are indeed linear independent and span $mathbbR^(2,2)$. Coming back to the null space of $T$, you can see that every matrix $Ain N(T)$, i.e. every matrix of the form



          $$
          beginpmatrixa_1,1 &a_1,2\0 &a_2,2endpmatrix
          $$



          can be created as a linear combination of



          $$
          beginpmatrix1 &0\0 &0endpmatrix, beginpmatrix0 &1\0 &0endpmatrix,beginpmatrix0 &0\0 &1endpmatrix
          $$



          with



          $$
          beginpmatrixa_1,1 &a_1,2\0 &a_2,2endpmatrix=a_1,1beginpmatrix1 &0\0 &0endpmatrix + a_1,2 beginpmatrix0 &1\0 &0endpmatrix+ a_2,2beginpmatrix0 &0\0 &1endpmatrix
          $$



          as the defining condition for $N(T)$ is a zero at position $a_2,1$. As we found a set of linear independent vectors(the three matrices above) that span $N(T)$, we've found a basis for the concerned space. Followingly, as an answer to part (c), we find that $mathrmdim(N(T))=3$.



          Note, that by the rank-nullity theorem(and assuming that $R(T)$ means the range of $T$), we have that



          $$
          4=mathrmdim(mathbbR^(2,2))=mathrmdim(N(T))+mathrmdim(R(T))=3+mathrmdim(R(T))
          $$



          Therefore, $mathrmdim(R(T))=1$, i.e. as $T:mathbbR^(2,2)tomathbbR$, we have $R(T)=mathbbR$. A typical basis for $mathbbR$ as a vector space is the number $1$.

            Let $A_1= beginpmatrix1 &0\0 &0endpmatrix$, $A_2= beginpmatrix0 &1\0 &0endpmatrix$ and $A_3= beginpmatrix0 &0\0 &1endpmatrix$, then



            $A in N(T) iff A=beginpmatrixa_1,1 &a_1,2\0 &a_2,2endpmatrix iff $



            $A in span A_1,A_2,A_3 $.



            Can you proceed ?

              a. Let $X=[x_i,j],Y=[y_i,j]$ be 2x2 matrices and $cin F$.
              (1) $T(X+Y) = x_2,1 + y_2,1 = T(X)+T(Y)$
              (2)$T(cX) = cx_2,1 = cT(X). $
              This proves that T is a linear trasformation.



              b. $N(T) = leftlbrace A = [a_i,j] | a_2,1=0 rightrbrace
              = Spanleft( leftlbrace left[ beginarraycc 1&0\0&0endarrayright] , left[ beginarraycc 0&1\0&0endarrayright],left[ beginarraycc 0&0\0&1endarrayright] rightrbrace right)$



              Show that $leftlbrace left[ beginarraycc 1&0\0&0endarrayright] , left[ beginarraycc 0&1\0&0endarrayright],left[ beginarraycc 0&0\0&1endarrayright] rightrbrace$ is linearly independent to how that it is a basis.

                    $$



                    You may check that these are indeed linear independent and span $mathbbR^(2,2)$. Coming back to the null space of $T$, you can see that every matrix $Ain N(T)$, i.e. every matrix of the form



                    $$
                    beginpmatrixa_1,1 &a_1,2\0 &a_2,2endpmatrix
                    $$



                    can be created as a linear combination of



                    $$
                    beginpmatrix1 &0\0 &0endpmatrix, beginpmatrix0 &1\0 &0endpmatrix,beginpmatrix0 &0\0 &1endpmatrix
                    $$



                    with



                    $$
                    beginpmatrixa_1,1 &a_1,2\0 &a_2,2endpmatrix=a_1,1beginpmatrix1 &0\0 &0endpmatrix + a_1,2 beginpmatrix0 &1\0 &0endpmatrix+ a_2,2beginpmatrix0 &0\0 &1endpmatrix
                    $$



                    as the defining condition for $N(T)$ is a zero at position $a_2,1$. As we found a set of linear independent vectors(the three matrices above) that span $N(T)$, we've found a basis for the concerned space. Followingly, as an answer to part (c), we find that $mathrmdim(N(T))=3$.



                    Note, that by the rank-nullity theorem(and assuming that $R(T)$ means the range of $T$), we have that



                    $$
                    4=mathrmdim(mathbbR^(2,2))=mathrmdim(N(T))+mathrmdim(R(T))=3+mathrmdim(R(T))
                    $$



                    Therefore, $mathrmdim(R(T))=1$, i.e. as $T:mathbbR^(2,2)tomathbbR$, we have $R(T)=mathbbR$. A typical basis for $mathbbR$ as a vector space is the number $1$.

                    You solution to part (a) seems to be just fine. For part (b):



                    Consider what is needed for a matrix $AinmathbbR^(2,2)$ to map to $0$ under $T$, i.e. $T(A)=0$, i.e. $a_2,1=0$. Thus



                    $$
                    N(T)=AinmathbbR^(2,2)mid a_2,1=0=beginpmatrixa_1,1 &a_1,2\0 &a_2,2endpmatrixinmathbbR^(2,2)
                    $$

                    $$

                    $$

                    can be created as a linear combination of
