Explain why there does not exist a linear transformation

432 Views Asked by At

I have to explain why there does not exist a linear transformation T from $ℝ^5$ to $ℝ^5$ with range(T)=kernel(T).

I know the answer has something to do with dimensions because dim(range(T))+dim(ker(T))=dim(v), but I'm not sure how to explain this.

if you want $ker=range$ then, by theorem, dimension of V would be even
