Example. Consider the orthogonal project onto<br />

the x1 − x2−plane, a linear transformation T<br />

from R 3 to R 3 . See Figure 10.<br />

The kernel <strong>of</strong> T consists <strong>of</strong> all vectors whose<br />

orthogonal projection is 0. These are the vectors<br />

on the x3−axis (the scalar multiples <strong>of</strong> e3).<br />
