    The codomain is four-dimensional, and therefore the image must be generated by four-dimensional vectors.

There is a difference between 'linear operator' and 'linear transformation'. The term 'linear operator' is generally used to mean a linear transformation from a vector space to the same vector space. For example, $I:Vto V$ is a linear operator (and transformation) while $M:Bbb R^2toBbb R^3$ is only a linear transformation.



The question probably meant $T:Bbb R^3toBbb R^3$ seeing as how it mentions 'linear operator' and proceeds to give three dimensional basis vectors for the range of $T$.



Recall that the range of a linear transformation is the column space of the matrix that represents it. Thus, you want the columns of the matrix of $T,[T]$ to be linear combinations of $(2,1,1),(1,-1,2)$. For example, $$[T]=begin{bmatrix}2&1&2\1&-1&1\1&2&1end{bmatrix}implies T(x,y,z)=(2x+y+2z,x-y+z,x+2y+z)$$



There are infinitely many answers.
