How can I prove that two null spaces are equal by using the existence of an invertible operator?

Suppose $W$ is finite dimensional and $T_1, T_2 in L(V,W).$ Prove that null($T_1$) $=$ null($T_2$) if and only if there exists and invertable operator $Sin L(W)$ such that $T_1 = Scirc T_2$.





I'm quite sure I have to make use of the rank-nullity theorem here. I started with:



$ dim(v) = dim(null(Scirc T_2)) + dim(Range(Scirc T_2)) $



$=dim(null(T_1)) + dim(Range(S circ T_2)) $



$=dim(null(S circ T_2) = dim(Range(nullT_1))$



$=dim(nullT_1) + dim(Range(T_1)) $



$= dim(nullT_1), + dim(Range(S circ T_2))$



$=dim(Range(T_1)) = dim(Range(S circ T_2))$



...I'm not sure how to take this further and put everything together.

  • Any time you're stuck on a proof, one place to start is to circle all the key terms and write down the definitions for them. PS it's "Invertible", not "invertable".

We know that multiplication by an invertible matrix don't change the rank of a matrix,



$Longrightarrow rk(T_1) = rk(SoT_2) = rk(T_2)$



$Longrightarrow null(T_1) = dim(V)-rk(T_1)$



$=dim(V) - rk(T_2)$



$=null(T_2)$



$therefore RHSLongrightarrow LHS$



Hope it helps:)
