Let T:Rn->Rm be a linear transformation, and let {v1,v2,v3} be a linearly dependent set in Rn. Prove that the set {T(v1),T(v2),T(v3)} is Linearly Dependent.

PF:
Let T:Rn->Rm be a linear transformation, and let {v1,v2,v3} be a linearly dependent set in Rn.
Thenx1v1+x2v2+x3v3 =0 has at least one nonzero xi, call it x1.
Since T is a linear transformation then T(x1v1)+T(x2v2)+T(x3v3) = x1T(v1)+x2T(v2)+x3T(v3)

Not really sure where to go from here.
