Use Exercise 28 to explain why the equation\(Ax = b\)has a solution for all\({\rm{b}}\)in\({\mathbb{R}^m}\)if and only if the equation\({A^T}x = 0\)has only the trivial solution.

Short Answer

Expert verified

For the condition given, the number of non-pivot columns in \({A^T}\) is 0, which implies that \({A^T}x = 0\) has a trivial solution.

Step by step solution

01

Assume an arbitrary system and relate the given statement with it

Consider the nonhomogeneous system \(Ax = b\) with matrix \(A\) of the size \(m \times n\). If the system has a pivot position in each row, it will have solution for all values of \(b\) in the subspace of \({\mathbb{R}^m}\) .

02

Use the result of Exercise 28b

If the system \(Ax = b\) has a pivot position in each row, then the number of columns in \(A\) is \(m\), that is, \({\rm{dimCol}}\,\,A = m\). By the result of Exercise 28b,\({\rm{dimCol}}\,A + {\rm{dim}}\,{\rm{Nul}}\,\,{A^T} = m\). Put the values in \({\rm{dimCol}}\,\,A = m\) to get

\(\begin{aligned} {\rm{dim}}\,{\rm{Col}}\,A + {\rm{dim}}\,{\rm{Nul}}\,\,{A^T} &= m\\m + {\rm{dim}}\,{\rm{Nul}}\,\,{A^T} &= m\\{\rm{dim}}\,{\rm{Nul}}\,\,{A^T} &= 0.\end{aligned}\)

03

Draw a conclusion

As \({\rm{dim}}\,{\rm{Nul}}\,\,{A^T} = 0\), the number of non-pivot columns in \({A^T}\) is 0, which implies that \({A^T}x = 0\) has a trivial solution.

Suppose the solutions of a homogeneous system of five linear equations in six unknowns are all multiples of one nonzero solution. Will the system necessarily have a solution for every possible choice of constants on the right sides of the equations? Explain.

Let H be an n-dimensional subspace of an n-dimensional vector space V. Explain why \(H = V\).

Let \(A\) be any \(2 \times 3\) matrix such that \({\mathop{\rm rank}\nolimits} A = 1\), let u be the first column of \(A\), and suppose \({\mathop{\rm u}\nolimits} \ne 0\). Explain why there is a vector v in \({\mathbb{R}^3}\) such that \(A = {{\mathop{\rm uv}\nolimits} ^T}\). How could this construction be modified if the first column of \(A\) were zero?

Question 18: Suppose A is a \(4 \times 4\) matrix and B is a \(4 \times 2\) matrix, and let \({{\mathop{\rm u}\nolimits} _0},...,{{\mathop{\rm u}\nolimits} _3}\) represent a sequence of input vectors in \({\mathbb{R}^2}\).

  1. Set \({{\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} _0} = 0\), compute \({{\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} _1},...,{{\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} _4}\) from equation (1), and write a formula for \({{\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} _4}\) involving the controllability matrix \(M\) appearing in equation (2). (Note: The matrix \(M\) is constructed as a partitioned matrix. Its overall size here is \(4 \times 8\).)
  2. Suppose \(\left( {A,B} \right)\) is controllable and v is any vector in \({\mathbb{R}^4}\). Explain why there exists a control sequence \({{\mathop{\rm u}\nolimits} _0},...,{{\mathop{\rm u}\nolimits} _3}\) in \({\mathbb{R}^2}\) such that \({{\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} _4} = {\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} \).
