17. Let V be a vector space over F and let W be a subspace of V. Let T be a linear operator on V and suppose that W is invariant under T. (a) Show that if u+W=v+W then T(u)+W=T(v)+W; in particular the function T: V/W → V/W given by the formula T(u + W) = T(u) + W is well defined. (b) Show that the function T from part (a) is in fact a linear operator on the quotient vector space V/W over F.
