How to check if a transformation is surjective and injective

[QUOTE="caspeerrr, post: 5904998, member: 614282"] [h2]Homework Statement [/h2] I have attached the question. Translated: Suppose T: R^4 -> R^4 is the image so that: ... [h2]Homework Equations[/h2] So I did this question and my final answers were correct: 1. not surjective 2. not injective. My method of solving this question is completely different than the answerbook thoug. Is my method correct too? [h2]The Attempt at a Solution[/h2] 1. If i put the transformation inside a matrix the result would be: 0 1 1 0--------------------------------------0 1 0 1 0 0 3 1 which can be reduced t----0 0 1 -1 0 -1 0 0-------------------------------------- 0 0 0 1 0 -1 0 1--------------------------------------- 0 0 0 0 [/B] 1. learned that a condition for a surjective transformation is that there has to be a pivot position in each row, which is not true: pivot positions are in row 1, 2 and 3, but not 4. So not Surjective. 2. Secondly I learned that a condition for a injective transformation is that there can be no free variables. In the matrix above, there is one column with only zeros. This means that X1 is a free variable, it doesn't matter what value you give to it, it will not affect the final outcome. Is what i did correct? Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
