Image and Kernel

The video tutorial by Professor Dave explains the concepts of image and kernel in linear transformations. It begins with an introduction to these concepts, followed by detailed examples to illustrate how a linear transformation maps vectors from one vector space to another. The image is described as the set of vectors obtained from transforming a subspace, while the kernel is the set of vectors that map to the zero vector. The tutorial emphasizes understanding these concepts through practical examples and highlights their properties as subspaces.
