Work Step by Step

Obtain: $Ker (T)=\{x \in R^2: T(x)=0\}\\ =\{\begin{bmatrix} -x-y & 0 & 2x+2y\\ 0 & 3x+3y & -9x-9y \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 0 & 0\\ 0 & 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix}\}$ We have the system: $-x-y=0\\ 2x+2y=0\\ 3x+3y=0\\ -9x-9y=0$ thus, $y=-x$ Thus, $Ker (T)=\{(x,-x):x\in R\}\\ =\{x(1,-1):x \in R\}\\ =span\{(1,-1)\}$ $\dim [Ker(T)]=1$ $Rng(T)=\{T(x): x \in R^2\}\\ =\{\begin{bmatrix} -x-y & 0 & 2x+2y\\ 0 & 3x+3y & -9x-9y \end{bmatrix}:x,y \in R\}\\ =\{\begin{bmatrix} -x & 0 & 2x\\ 0 & 3x & -9x \end{bmatrix}+\begin{bmatrix} -y & 0 & 2y\\ 0 & 3y & -9y \end{bmatrix}:x,y \in R\}\\ =\{x\begin{bmatrix} -1 & 0 & 2\\ 0 & 3 & -9 \end{bmatrix}+y\begin{bmatrix} -1 & 0 & 2\\ 0 & 3 & -9 \end{bmatrix}: x,y \in R\}\\ =\{(x+y)\begin{bmatrix} -1 & 0 & 2\\ 0 & 3 & -9 \end{bmatrix}:x,y \in R\}\\ =span\{\begin{bmatrix} -1 & 0 & 2\\ 0 & 3 & -9 \end{bmatrix}\}$ Since $\{\begin{bmatrix} -1 & 0 & 2\\ 0 & 3 & -9 \end{bmatrix}\}$ is the basic for $Rng(T)$, then $\dim [Rng(T)]=1$
