Let X be a normed space, $T: X\to R$ a linear unbounded functional. I have to show that
a) ker(T) is dense in X
b) $ker(T) \subset X $
I tried to show this with contraposition:
Assume $ker(T)$ is not dense in X.
$\exists x_0\in X$ and there exists an open ball $U(x_0)$ which is disjunct to $Ker(T)$.
$T(U-x_0)$ is convex(linear image of convex set) and symmetric ($a\in T(U-x_0) \implies -a\in T(U-x_0)$.
my final goal is to show that f has to be bounded then... but I don't find a way to continue
i thing next step would be showing that $T(U-x_0)$ is bounded
