Here are the solutions to these 2 questions:
http://linearalgebras.com/3A.html
(Axler 3A 10) Suppose $U$ is a subspace of $V$ with $U≠V$ Suppose $S∈L(U,W)$ and $S≠0$ (which means that $Su≠0$ for some $u∈U$). Define $T:V→W$ by
$Tv$=$Sv$ if $v∈U$ and $Tv$=$0$ ,if $v∉U$
Prove that $T$ is not a linear map on $V$.
- Suppose $V$ is finite-dimensional. Prove that every linear map on a subspace of $V$ can be extended to a linear map on $V$. In other words, show that if $U$ is a subspace of $V$ and $S∈L(U,W)$, then there exists $T∈L(V,W)$ such that $Tu=Su$ for all $u∈U$.
I know the theorem in Axler 3.5 and I can understand and agree with the proof. But the question 10 contradicts question 11 since the map in 11 is proved to be not linear in question 10.
I wonder where is wrong or I misunderstood something. Could someone explain the subtle difference?
The map in question 11 is not the same as the one in question 10. In question 10, the map has to be zero for all $v$ outside of $U$, whereas this is not required of the map in question $11$.
