In Exercises37 through 42 , find a basis of localid="1660372956863" such that the localid="1660373301403" of the given linear transformation T is diagonal.
Orthogonal projection T onto the line in spanned by.
Let A and B be two matrices of the same size, with , both in reduced row-echelon form. Show that. Hint: Focus on the first column in which the two matrices differ, say, the kth columnsandof A and B, respectively. Explain why at least one of the columnsandfails to contain a leading 1. Thus, reversing the roles of matrices A and B if necessary, we can assume thatdoes not contain a leading 1. We can write as a linear combination of preceding columns and use this representation to construct a vector in the kernel of A. Show that this vector fails to be in the kernel of B. Use Exercises 86 and 87 as a guide.
