Which statements about a linear transformation would be correct?

$\begingroup$

Let T be a linear transformation. If we have this then what statements would hold true?

  1. T contains $\vec{0}$ (i.e $\vec{0} \in T$)
  2. T is a 3 x 4 matrix
  3. The columns of T are linearly independent
  4. T($\vec{0}$) = $\vec{0}$
  5. T is one-to-one
  6. T is non-empty
  7. The domain of T is $\mathbb{R}^4$

These sort of questions are given to us after each topic in algebra to understand if we know the concepts inside out.

My attempt would be that 3, 4 and 5 are true. Im unsure about others. 3, 4 and 5 I was able to find because of a theorem. I think 1 should be true, since $\vec{0}$ should be in the vector space. 7 can be true or can be false. The question doesn't specify so we assume it to be false. 2 and 6 i have no idea at all. Can T be empty? Because it would make no sense for it to be called a transformation if its empty.

Appreciate your time and effort
