Question: If A is a non-zero matrix of the form, then the rank of A must be 2.
If Ais an \(n \times n\) matrix and the equation \(A{\bf{x}} = {\bf{b}}\) has more than one solution for some b, then the transformation \({\bf{x}}| \to A{\bf{x}}\) is not one-to-one. What else can you say about this transformation? Justify your answer.a
In Exercise 23 and 24, make each statement True or False. Justify each answer.
24.
a. Any list of five real numbers is a vector in \({\mathbb{R}^5}\).
b. The vector \({\mathop{\rm u}\nolimits} \) results when a vector \({\mathop{\rm u}\nolimits} - v\) is added to the vector \({\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} \).
c. The weights \({{\mathop{\rm c}\nolimits} _1},...,{c_p}\) in a linear combination \({c_1}{v_1} + \cdot \cdot \cdot + {c_p}{v_p}\) cannot all be zero.
d. When are \({\mathop{\rm u}\nolimits} \) nonzero vectors, Span \(\left\{ {u,v} \right\}\) contains the line through \({\mathop{\rm u}\nolimits} \) and the origin.
e. Asking whether the linear system corresponding to an augmented matrix \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{{\rm{a}}_{\rm{1}}}}&{{{\rm{a}}_{\rm{2}}}}&{{{\rm{a}}_{\rm{3}}}}&{\rm{b}}\end{array}} \right]\) has a solution amounts to asking whether \({\mathop{\rm b}\nolimits} \) is in Span\(\left\{ {{a_1},{a_2},{a_3}} \right\}\).
Determine the value(s) of \(a\) such that \(\left\{ {\left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}1\\a\end{aligned}} \right),\left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}a\\{a + 2}\end{aligned}} \right)} \right\}\) is linearly independent.
In Exercises 13 and 14, determine if \({\mathop{\rm b}\nolimits} \) is a linear combination of the vectors formed from the columns of the matrix \(A\).
14. \(A = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&{ - 2}&{ - 6}\\0&3&7\\1&{ - 2}&5\end{array}} \right],{\mathop{\rm b}\nolimits} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{11}\\{ - 5}\\9\end{array}} \right]\)
