Show that the Image of $0$ under a Linear Mapping is also $0$












1












$begingroup$


In my book of Linear Algebra, I have the following exercises:




Let $T: V to W$ be a linear map from one vector space to another. Show that $T(0) = 0$.




I'm somehow having a block.



For me, it is natural to express it like: If $T(0)$ were not in $Ker(T)$ and thus contradiction, because $Ker(T)$ is a subspace by default (the way it is constructed).



How can we show that with more elementarily? (with less abstraction.)

    By definition of linear mapping we know that for any vector $ v in V $ $ T(0 v) = 0 t(V) $
