Is the Image of a projective module still a projective module?

337 Views Asked by At

Precisely, let $P$ be a projective module and $\partial:P\to Q$ be a module homomorphism. Then how do we prove that $Im\partial$ is still a projective module?

This is false. Every module is the image of a free (hence projective) module. Yet, non-projective modules exist.
