Homework Statement
Let T:V→V be a linear operator on a vector space V over C:
(a) Give an example of an operator T:C^2→C^2 such that R(T)∩N(T)={0} but T is not a projection
(b) Find a formula for a linear operator T:C^3→C^3 over C such that T is a projection with R(T)=span{(1,1,1)} and N(T)=span{(1,1,0);(0,1,1)}
Homework Equations
If T is a projection, then T^2=T
R(T) is the range of T (I think it is also the image), N(T) is the null space or kernel of T.
The Attempt at a Solution
I don't know how to create one where R(T)∩N(T)={0}. I sort of figured out by using [2 0 , 0 1/2]
As for (b), I try setting T(1,1,0)=(0,0,0) and T(0,1,1)=(0,0,0) but I'm not sure if this is correct or what to do afterwards.
