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 .
Consider the plane . Find a basis of this plane such that for .
Letbe the basis ofconsisting of the vectorsand letlocalid="1660636061360" be some other basis of . Islocalid="1660645467599" a basis of as well?
Explain.
Explain why you need at least 鈥榤鈥 vectors to span a space of dimension 鈥榤鈥. See Theorem 3.3.4b.
If the kernel of a matrix A consists of zero vector only, then the column vectors of A must be linearly independent.
