Express the image of the matrix
as the kernel of a matrix. Hint: The image ofconsists of all vectorsinsuch that the systemis consistent. Write this system more explicitly:
localid="1664197199135" .
Now, reduce rows:
For which the vectors is this system consistent? The answer allows you to express im ( ) as the kernel of amatrix .
Given a hexagonal tiling of the plane,such as you might find on a kitchen floor, consider the basisBofconsisting of the vectorsin the following sketch:

(a) Find the coordinate vectorsand.Hint: Sketch the coordinate grid defined by the basis.
(b) We are told that. Sketch the pointR. IsRa vector or a center of a tile?
(c) We are told that. IsSa center or a vertex of a tile?
If A and B are invertible matrices, then AB must be similar to BA.
Express the plane in with equation as the kernel of a matrix and as the image of a matrix .
If the kernel of a matrix A consists of zero vector only, then the column vectors of A must be linearly independent.
