Consider the spanning set of V . It means that any vectors in V can be written as a linear combination of {(1,1,0),(1,1,1)}. That is, for any (x1,x2,x3)∈V,
(x1,x2,x3)=λ1(1,1,0)+λ2(1,1,1),λ1,λ2∈R(x1,x2,x3)=(λ1+λ2,λ1+λ2,λ2)
The Kernel of T is defined as the set;
Ker(T)={T(x1,x2,x3)=(0,0,0)∣(x1,x2,x3)∈V}.
To get Ker(T) ;
T(x1,x2,x3)=(0,0,0)(0,x1,x2)=(0,0,0)⟹x1=0,x2=0 whereby, x3 remains unchanged. That is, x3∈R .
⟹λ1=−λ2 , x3=λ2
Therefore, the Ker(T):={(0,0,x3)∣x3∈R} and its basis is (0,0,1) .
