Abstract
The Rank+Nullity Theorem The rank+nullity theorem states that, if T is a linear transformation from a finite-dimensional vector space V to a finite-dimensional vector space W, then dim(V) = rank(T) + nullity(T), where rank(T) = dim(im(T)) and nullity(T) = dim(ker(T)). The proof treated here is standard; see, for example, [14]: take a basis A of ker(T) and extend it to a basis B of V, and then show that dim(im(T)) is equal to |B - A|, and that T is one-to-one on B - A.
