T is the projection onto the xy-coordinate plane:
T(x,y,z)=(x,y,0)

I have to give a geometric description of the kernel and range of T.


my geometric description of the kernel:
a line along the z-axis. Is this correct?
whats the geometric description of the range of T?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Why "a line along the z-axis". Why not just "the z-axis"?

Is not the range, the set of all pairs (x,y, 0) pretty obvious?
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
