Give an example of a linear transformation whose kernel is the plane in.
Find a basis of the kernel of the matrix
Justify your answer carefully; that is, explain how you know that the vectors you found are linearly independent and span the kernel.
Explain why you need at least 鈥榤鈥 vectors to span a space of dimension 鈥榤鈥. See Theorem 3.3.4b.
