Work Step by Step

Consider: $$\alpha_1Tv_1+\alpha_2 Tv_2+...+\alpha_n T v_n=0$$ Using linearly of $T$, we have: $$T(\alpha_1 v_1+\alpha_2 v_2+...+\alpha_n v_n)=0\\ \rightarrow \alpha_1v_1+\alpha_2v_2+...+\alpha_n v_n \in Ker(T)$$ Since $Ker(T)=\{0\} \rightarrow \alpha_1v_1+\alpha_2v_2+...+\alpha_n v_n=0$ Since $\{v_1,v_2,...v_n\}$ is a linearly independent set, we have: $$\alpha_1=\alpha_2=...=\alpha_n=0$$ Hence, $\{T(v_1),T(v_2),...,T(v_n)\}$ is a linearly independent subset of $W$.
