Let a be a fixed unit length vector (A is in R^3). Define a linear transformation T: R^3 -> R^3 by T(x)=(a.x)a (a.x refers the dot product between a and x) In geometric terms, describe the range of T with respect to a and give the dimension of this range. Also, describe the kernel of T with respect to a and give the dimension of this range).
