2. (a) Let V be an n-dimensional vector space, and let {₁,...,Vn} be a basis for V. Show that if T: V → V is a linear transformation such that T(v₁) 0 and T(vi) Espan{v₁,..., Vi-1} for all i = {2, 3,...,n}, then T = 0. = (b) Use (a) to show that if A € Mnxn (F) is a strictly upper triangular matrix (meaning that all entries on or below the main diagonal are 0), then A" = 0.
