Chapter 4: Q11E (page 191)

If the null space of an \({\bf{8}} \times {\bf{5}}\) matrix A is 2-dimensional, what is the dimension of the row space of A?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The dimension of the row space of A is 3.

Step by step solution

01

Describe the given data

Given that \({\rm{dim}}\,{\rm{Nul}}\,A = 2\).

02

Use the rank theorem

Bythe rank theorem, you get

\(\begin{aligned} {\rm{rank}}\,A + {\rm{dim}}\,{\rm{Nul}}\,A &= n\\{\rm{rank}}\,A + 2 &= 5\\{\rm{rank}}\,A &= 5 - 2\\ &= 3.\end{aligned}\)

03

Draw a conclusion

Note that \({\rm{rank}}\,A = \dim {\rm{Col}}A = \dim {\rm{Row}}A\). Hence, \(\dim {\rm{Row}}\,{\rm{A}} = 3\).

Let \({\mathop{\rm u}\nolimits} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1\\2\end{array}} \right]\). Find \({\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} \) in \({\mathbb{R}^3}\) such that \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&{ - 3}&4\\2&{ - 6}&8\end{array}} \right] = {{\mathop{\rm uv}\nolimits} ^T}\) .

Question: Exercises 12-17 develop properties of rank that are sometimes needed in applications. Assume the matrix\(A\)is\(m \times n\).

15. Let\(A\)be an\(m \times n\)matrix, and let\(B\)be a\(n \times p\)matrix such that\(AB = 0\). Show that\({\mathop{\rm rank}\nolimits} A + {\mathop{\rm rank}\nolimits} B \le n\). (Hint: One of the four subspaces\({\mathop{\rm Nul}\nolimits} A\),\({\mathop{\rm Col}\nolimits} A,\,{\mathop{\rm Nul}\nolimits} B\), and\({\mathop{\rm Col}\nolimits} B\)is contained in one of the other three subspaces.)

If the null space of A \({\bf{7}} \times {\bf{6}}\) matrix A is 4-dimensional, what is the dimension of the column space of A?

(M) Show thatis a linearly independent set of functions defined on. Use the method of Exercise 37. (This result will be needed in Exercise 34 in Section 4.5.)

Explain what is wrong with the following discussion: Let \({\bf{f}}\left( t \right) = {\bf{3}} + t\) and \({\bf{g}}\left( t \right) = {\bf{3}}t + {t^{\bf{2}}}\), and note that \({\bf{g}}\left( t \right) = t{\bf{f}}\left( t \right)\). Then, \(\left\{ {{\bf{f}},{\bf{g}}} \right\}\) is linearly dependent because g is a multiple of f.
