Let K {\displaystyle {}K} be a field, and let V {\displaystyle {}V} and W {\displaystyle {}W} be K {\displaystyle {}K} -vector spaces. Let
be a linear map. Prove that for all vectors v 1 , … , v n ∈ V {\displaystyle {}v_{1},\ldots ,v_{n}\in V} and coefficients s 1 , … , s n ∈ K {\displaystyle {}s_{1},\ldots ,s_{n}\in K} , the relationship
holds.
