Homework Statement


Prove if the following transformation exists or not: T: R^4 -> R^5
where: KerT=Sp{(0,1,1,0),(1,1,0,0)} , ImT=Sp{2,3,4,0,0),(1,1,0,0,0),(0,1,1,0,0)}


Homework Equations


T:V->W
dimImT + dimKerT = dimV


The Attempt at a Solution


I think that the answer is no because dimKerT=2 , dimImT=3 but 2+3 =/= 4.
Is that right? Am I missing something?
Thanks.
