Work Step by Step

Assume $x=(x_1,x_2)\\ y=(y_1,y_2)\\ c\in R$ $T(x+y)=T((x_1,x_2)+(y_1,y_2))\\ =T(x_1+y_1,x_2+y_2)\\ =\frac{x_1+y_1+x_2+y_2}{5}\\ =\frac{x_1+x_2}{5}+\frac{y_1+y_2}{5}\\ =T(x_1+x_2)+T(y_1+y_2)\\ =T(x)+T(y)$ $T(cf)=T(c(x_1,x_2))\\ =T(cx_1,cx_2)\\ =\frac{cx_1+cx_2}{5}\\ =c(\frac{x_1+x_2}{5})\\ =cT(x_1,x_2)\\ =cT(x)$ Hence, $T$ is a linear transformation Obtain: $Ker(T)=\{x \in R^2:T (x)=0\}\\ =\{(x,y)\in R^2: T(x,y)=(0,0)\}\\ =\{(x,y)\in R^2: \frac{x+y}{5}\\ =\{(x,y):x+y=0\}\\ =\{(x,y):y=-x\}\\ =\{(x,-x)\}\\ =\{x(1,-1)\}\\ =span \{(1,-1)\}\\ \rightarrow \dim Ker(T)=1$ then $\dim [Ker(T)]=1 \ne \{0\}$ $T$ is not one-to-one Apply Rank Nullity Theorem: $\dim [Ker(T)]+\dim [Rng(T)]=\dim R^3\\ 1+\dim [Rng(T)]=2\\ \dim [Rng(T)]=1$ Since $Rng(T) \subseteq R$ and $\dim [Rng(T)]=1=\dim R$, hence, $T$ is onto. Consequently, basic for $Rng(T)$ is $\{1\}$
