Homework Statement
Prove that if T is a linear transform, and vectors v1,..., vn are linearly dependent, then Tv1,...,Tvn are linearly dependent
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I tried this:
Assume A1v1 + ... + Anvn = 0, where all Ai are scalars.
Taking the transform of both sides, we get
A1Tv1 + ... + AnTvn = 0. So there is the same relationship between these images of v's. So the Tv's are also dependent.
My problem is that if I did the same assumption with the v's li. independent, then I would get Tv's are also independent, which is not necessarily true.
