(i) State the rank-nullity theorem for a linear map between finite-dimensional vector spaces.

(ii) Show that a linear transformation f:VVf: V \rightarrow V of a finite-dimensional vector space VV is bijective if it is injective or surjective.

(iii) Let VV be the R\mathbb{R}-vector space R[X]\mathbb{R}[X] of all polynomials in XX with coefficients in R\mathbb{R}. Give an example of a linear transformation f:VVf: V \rightarrow V which is surjective but not bijective.
