Linear transformation surjective and/ or injective?












0












$begingroup$


I am new to linear algebra, and would like some feedback regarding the following answer to a textbook question:




Let $T:M_{2times 3}(mathbb R) to M_{3times 3}(mathbb R)$ be a linear
transformation. Answer the following two questions:




  1. Is it possible for T to be surjective?

  2. Is it possible for T to be injective?




My answer is the following:




  1. Yes, because it is possible for each element in $M_{3times 3}(mathbb R)$ to be the result of linear transformation $T$ applied to $M_{2times 3}(mathbb R)$.


  2. No, because there are more rows in $M_{3times 3}(mathbf R)$ than in $M_{2times 3}(mathbf R)$, and therefore the elements in $M_{3times 3}(mathbb R)$ cannot be the exclusive result of the elements in $M_{2times3}(mathbb R)$.



I have no idea whether I am on the right track?



Thank you!

    Vector spaces of matrices can be confusing because the vectors are the matrices. Notice that a two-by-three matrix is equivalent to a $6$-dimensional vector because it is described by $6$ real numbers. Change the problem to $T:mathbb R^6tomathbb R^9$ and then try to answer the questions.

Hint:
For 1. use the rank-nullity theorem for $T$.



For 2. consider the embedding of $M_{2,3}(K)$ into $M_{3,3}(K)$.

    $begingroup$

    Let $A:Uto V$ be a linear operator between finite-dimensional vector spaces $U$ and $V$.



    (1) $text{rank}(A)leqtext{dim}(V)$.



    (2) $text{rank}(A)+text{nullity}(A)=text{dim}(U)$.



    (3) $A$ is injective iff $text{nullity}(A)=0$.



    (4) $A$ is surjective iff $text{rank}(A)=text{dim}(V)$



    (5) The dimension of $M_{mtimes n}(mathbb{R})$ is $mn$.



    That is more than enough to answer both questions.

      Ordinarily I would agree, but $T$ was already taken. It would be like fixing $n=4$ and then trying to use the notation $sum_{n=1}^infty frac{1}{n^2}$ or something.

      Thank you for your answer! Just want to check that I got this right, because the answer it leads to is the opposite of what I had originally thought: according to the above, if A is surjective, then rank(A)=9, but rank(A)+nullity(A)=dim(U), giving 9+nullity(A)=6, which is impossible: so A cannot be surjective. However, if A is injective, Rank A = 6 (because dimKerT = 0), which is indeed less than 9, so there is no contradiction, and A can be injective… Did I understand this correctly?

      You have the first part right. But for the second part, merely showing that it doesn't contradict the rank-nullity theorem isn't enough. You have to actually exhibit some kind of example, even if it's not explicit. For example, let ${u_1,cdots,u_6}$ be a basis for $M_{2times 3}$ and ${v_1,cdots,v_9}$ a basis for $M_{3times 3}$. Then define $T$ by the rule $T(u_i)=v_i$ for $i=1,cdots 6$.

      and the remaining $v_7-v_9$ are simply unrelated to $M_{2x3}$?

              You have the first part right. But for the second part, merely showing that it doesn't contradict the rank-nullity theorem isn't enough. You have to actually exhibit some kind of example, even if it's not explicit. For example, let ${u_1,cdots,u_6}$ be a basis for $M_{2times 3}$ and ${v_1,cdots,v_9}$ a basis for $M_{3times 3}$. Then define $T$ by the rule $T(u_i)=v_i$ for $i=1,cdots 6$.

              and the remaining $v_7-v_9$ are simply unrelated to $M_{2x3}$?

              Right, which is why I used a different symbol to denote an arbitrary linear operator between $U$ and $V$

              Ordinarily I would agree, but $T$ was already taken. It would be like fixing $n=4$ and then trying to use the notation $sum_{n=1}^infty frac{1}{n^2}$ or something.

              Thank you for your answer! Just want to check that I got this right, because the answer it leads to is the opposite of what I had originally thought: according to the above, if A is surjective, then rank(A)=9, but rank(A)+nullity(A)=dim(U), giving 9+nullity(A)=6, which is impossible: so A cannot be surjective. However, if A is injective, Rank A = 6 (because dimKerT = 0), which is indeed less than 9, so there is no contradiction, and A can be injective… Did I understand this correctly?
