Chapter 4: Q7SE (page 191)

What would you have to know about the solution set of a homogenous system of 18 linear equations 20 variables in order to understand that every associated nonhomogenous equation has a solution? Discuss.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The system of the equation has a solution for every b in \({\mathbb{R}^{18}}\).

Step by step solution

01

Make assumptions for the given problem

Let the system \(A{\bf{x}} = {\bf{b}}\) has 18 equations and 20 variables. Then, by the rank theorem, you get

\({\rm{rank}}\,\,A + \dim \,\,{\rm{Nul}}\,\,A = n\).

02

Find the solution set using rank theorem

Since the number of columns in A is 20, the column space of A will be

\(\begin{array}{c}\dim \,{\rm{Col}}\,\,A \ge 20 - 2\\ \ge 18\end{array}\).

Therefore, the column space of A is \({\mathbb{R}^{18}}\).

Hence, the system of the equation has a solution for every b in \({\mathbb{R}^{18}}\).

Prove theorem 3 as follows: Given an \(m \times n\) matrix A, an element in \({\mathop{\rm Col}\nolimits} A\) has the form \(Ax\) for some x in \({\mathbb{R}^n}\). Let \(Ax\) and \(A{\mathop{\rm w}\nolimits} \) represent any two vectors in \({\mathop{\rm Col}\nolimits} A\).

  1. Explain why the zero vector is in \({\mathop{\rm Col}\nolimits} A\).
  2. Show that the vector \(A{\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} + A{\mathop{\rm w}\nolimits} \) is in \({\mathop{\rm Col}\nolimits} A\).
  3. Given a scalar \(c\), show that \(c\left( {A{\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} } \right)\) is in \({\mathop{\rm Col}\nolimits} A\).

Let \(B = \left\{ {\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{1}}\\{ - {\bf{4}}}\end{array}} \right),\,\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{ - {\bf{2}}}\\{\bf{9}}\end{array}} \right)\,} \right\}\). Since the coordinate mapping determined by B is a linear transformation from \({\mathbb{R}^{\bf{2}}}\) into \({\mathbb{R}^{\bf{2}}}\), this mapping must be implemented by some \({\bf{2}} \times {\bf{2}}\) matrix A. Find it. (Hint: Multiplication by A should transform a vector x into its coordinate vector \({\left( {\bf{x}} \right)_B}\)).

Consider the following two systems of equations:

\(\begin{array}{c}5{x_1} + {x_2} - 3{x_3} = 0\\ - 9{x_1} + 2{x_2} + 5{x_3} = 1\\4{x_1} + {x_2} - 6{x_3} = 9\end{array}\) \(\begin{array}{c}5{x_1} + {x_2} - 3{x_3} = 0\\ - 9{x_1} + 2{x_2} + 5{x_3} = 5\\4{x_1} + {x_2} - 6{x_3} = 45\end{array}\)

It can be shown that the first system of a solution. Use this fact and the theory from this section to explain why the second system must also have a solution. (Make no row operations.)

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

Question 11: Let\(S\)be a finite minimal spanning set of a vector space\(V\). That is,\(S\)has the property that if a vector is removed from\(S\), then the new set will no longer span\(V\). Prove that\(S\)must be a basis for\(V\).
