Back to Range Space and Null Space

Exercise 23

Avg difficulty 3.0

Let h ⁣:V→Rh\colon V\to\mathbb{R} be a homomorphism, but not the zero homomorphism. Prove that if ⟨β⃗1,…,β⃗n⟩\langle\vec{\beta}_{1},\dots,\vec{\beta}_{n}\rangle is a basis for the null space and if v⃗∈V\vec{v}\in V is not in the null space then ⟨v⃗,β⃗1,…,β⃗n⟩\langle\vec{v},\vec{\beta}_{1},\dots,\vec{\beta}_{n}\rangle is a basis for the entire domain VV.
