1: Let V be a finite dimensional vector space and W1, W2 be non-trivial subspaces of V such that W1 n W2 = {0v}. We say that V is the direct sum of W1 and W2 if any v e V, v = a + b where a e W1 and b e W2. In this case we write V = W1 W2. Let T : V V be a linear transformation such that T2 = T. Show that V = ker T Range T.

1: Let V be a finite dimensional vector space and W1, W2 be non-trivial
subspaces of V such that W1 n W2 = {0v}. We say that V is the direct sum
of W1 and W2 if any v e V, v = a + b where a e W1 and b e W2. In this case
we write V = W1 e W2. Let T :V → V be a linear transformation such that
T2 = T. Show that
