Solution

Sure, here is the step by step solution:

Step 1: Definition of Rank The rank of a matrix is the maximum number of linearly independent rows or columns. Similarly, the rank of a linear transformation is the dimension of the image of the transformation.

Step 2: Image of the Transformation The image of the transformation T is the set of all vectors w in W such that w = T(v) for some vector v in V. This is the same as the column space of the matrix C.

Step 3: Rank of the Transformation and Matrix Since the rank of a transformation is the dimension of its image, and the image of the transformation is the same as the column space of the matrix, it follows that the rank of the transformation is the same as the rank of the matrix.

Therefore, rank(T) = rank(C).
