Letbe the basis ofconsisting of the vectorsand letlocalid="1660636061360" be some other basis of . Islocalid="1660645467599" a basis of as well?
Explain.
IfA is amatrix of rank4, then the nullity ofAis1.
Question: Consider an matrix Aand amatrix B. We are told that the columns of A and the columns of B are linearly independent. Are the columns of the product AB linearly independent as well?
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?
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 .
