Answer

$T$ does not map $\mathrm{R}^{n}$ onto $\mathrm{R}^{n}$.

Work Step by Step

Let $\mathrm{A}$ be the standard matrix of $\mathrm{T}$. $\mathrm{T}$ is not one-to-one, so by Th.12b of chapter 1, the columns of A are linearly dependent. A is a n$\times$n matrix, so the columns of $A$ do not span $\mathrm{R}^{n}$. Applying Th.12a of chapter 1, $T$ does not map $\mathrm{R}^{n}$ onto $\mathrm{R}^{n}$.
