The proof of Theorem 3.7 used matrix representations and transposition to show that rank(UT)≤rank(T)rank(UT)≤rank(T).
How to devise an alternative proof for this inequality, using ordered bases and the Rank-Nullity Theorem (but neither matrix representation nor transposition)?
![### Theorem 3.7
**Statement:**
Let \( T: V \to W \) and \( U: W \to Z \) be linear transformations on finite-dimensional vector spaces \( V, W, \) and \( Z \), and let \( A \) and \( B \) be matrices such that the product \( AB \) is defined. Then
(a) \(\text{rank}(UT) \leq \text{rank}(U)\).
**Proof:**
(a) Clearly, \( R(T) \subseteq W \). Hence
\[
R(UT) = UT(V) = U(T(V)) = U(R(T)) \subseteq U(W) = R(U).
\]
Thus
\[
\text{rank}(UT) = \text{dim}(R(UT)) \leq \text{dim}(R(U)) = \text{rank}(U).

**Statement:**
Let \( T: V \to W \) and \( U: W \to Z \) be linear transformations on finite-dimensional vector spaces \( V, W, \) and \( Z \), and let \( A \) and \( B \) be matrices such that the product \( AB \) is defined. Then
(a) \(\text{rank}(UT) \leq \text{rank}(U)\).
**Proof:**
(a) Clearly, \( R(T) \subseteq W \). Hence
\[
R(UT) = UT(V) = U(T(V)) = U(R(T)) \subseteq U(W) = R(U).
\]
Thus
\[
\text{rank}(UT) = \text{dim}(R(UT)) \leq \text{dim}(R(U)) = \text{rank}(U).
