A question about direct sums of subspaces…

Let $W_1$ be a subspace of a finite dimensional vector space $V$. Prove that there exists a subspace $W_2\subset V$ such that $V=W_1\oplus W_2$. EDIT$^1$: This may be of use here: What ...

$T:V\rightarrow W$ such that $R(T) \subset W'$ is a subspace of ${\cal{L}}(V,W)$ [closed]

Let $V$ and $W$ be finite-dimensional vector spaces over $F$ and $W'\subset W$ a subspace, then the subset ${\cal{L}}(V,W)$ consisting of all linear maps $T:V\rightarrow W$ such that $R(T) \subset W'$ ...

$T:V\rightarrow W$ such that $N(T)=V'\subset V$ and $R(T)=W'\subset W$

How should one prove that there exists a linear map $T:V\rightarrow W$ such that $N(T)=V'\subset V$ and $R(T)=W'\subset W$ if $\dim(V')+\dim(W')=\dim(V)$, where $V$ and $W$ are finite-dimensional ...

Dimensions of Matrices Range (equalities).

I’d like to find range equalities. Considering the following: $$ A=B+C \\ A=B.C^T \\ A=[ B^T C^T ]^T \\ $$ I would like to find the function $f$ for each equality above. $$ dim( R(A) ) = f( R(B) , ...

Dimension of coefficents in a density equation

The density throughout a composite material is given by $T(x, y, z) = Axy^2 + Bxz^3 + Cy^2z^3,$ where $x$, $y$ and $z$ are the cartesian coordinates of the position inside the material. (a) Find the ...

Does a basis span even linear systems?

I understood basis as a set of vector $v_{1},v_{2},...,v_{n}$ as the set whose linear combination will span the entire vector space say $ \mathbb R^{n}$ which makes perfect sense in intuitive terms. ...

Degrees of freedom

Grateful if someone could tell me whether my rationale is correct: If I impose $m$ constraints on $\mathbb R^n$ (where $n<\infty$), then the set has $n-m$ degrees of freedom. Hence this subspace ...
