Branch of mathematics concerned with mathematical structures that are closed under operations like addition and scalar multiplication. It is the study of linear combinations, vector spaces, lines and planes, and some mappings that are used to perform linear transformations. Linear algebra also includes vectors, matrices, and linear functions. It has many applications from mathematical physics to modern algebra and coding theory.
Expert Solution
Step 1
Given that be a linear map and .
Given that be the cyclic subspace generated by .
We know that a subspace is a cyclic subspace generated by if:
.
(a)
Let be an arbitrary element.
Forward proof:
Suppose that .
Since be the cyclic subspace generated by and hence , therefore .
Therefore there exists a largest natural number and such that:
