An example in my textbook asks:
If T:V X V $\displaystyle \rightarrow$ V is the linear mapping T(x,y)=x-y, determine the kernel and range of T.
My Answer:
Let a=(x,y)
Ker T = {a $\displaystyle \in$ V X V | Ta=0}
0 =Ta
=T(x,y)
= x-y
y = x
Therefore, Ker T = {(x,y)$\displaystyle \in$ V X V | x=y}
Im T = T(V X V) = {Ta | a $\displaystyle \in$ V}
= T(x,y)
= x - y $\displaystyle \forall x,y \in V$
Make sense?
