Proving that $Im(T) = Im(TT^*)$ (hermitian adjoint)

180 Views Asked by At

Let $V$ be an inner product space of finite dimension, and $T:V \to V$ a linear map. Prove that $Im(T)=Im(TT^*)$.

Proving that $Im(TT^*) \subseteq Im(T)$ was not a problem, but I'm having trouble proving the other direction. Ideas?

Hint: $im(T^*)=\ker(T)^\perp$.
