show that $I, T, T^2, …, T^k$ are linear dependent

$begingroup$


I am learning linear algebra and new to it. I can not solve this problem. I think it has a trick that I don't know.




for T(a linear map), $T:Vrightarrow V$ and every $v$ in $V$ the $v, T(v), T^2(v), ..., T^k(v)$ are linearly dependent where $k$ is a natural number $leq dim(V)$.



show that $I, T, T^2, ..., T^k$ are linearly dependent




thanks in advance.

    @H_1317 yes, T is actually "T:V→V". unfortunately, I've asked the question wrong! it must be actually "T(v)s are dependent prove Ts are dependent". I mean both "independent"s should be "dependent". when I saw guys were answering the question I didn't edit that and just accept the answer.

    If $a_i T^i = 0$ is a linear combination of the $T^i,$ choose some $v$ for which the $T^i(v)$ are linearly independent vectors (you need to assume that only one such $v$ exists, not that every $v$ (which, by the way cannot be) satisfies it) and then conclude all scalars are zero.

Suppose $a_1T+...+a_kT^k=0$. Let $xneq 0$, $a_1T(x)+...+a_kT^k(x)=0$, this implies that $a_1=..=a_k=0$ since $T(x),...T^k(x)$ are linearly independent. It results that $T,....T^k$ is linearly independent.



Remark, you have to suppose for every $vneq 0$, $T(v),...,T^k(v)$ is linearly independent since it is not true for $v=0$.
