b. If \(V = {R^n}\)and \(C\) is the standard basis for \(V\) , then \(\mathop P\limits_{C \to B} \)is the same as the change-of-coordinates matrix \({P_B}\) introduced in section 4.4.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) False

The columns of the change-of-coordinates matrix \(\mathop P\limits_{C \to B} \)are the \(C\)-coordinate vectors of the vectors in \(B\).

(b) True

As \({\left( {{b_1}} \right)_\xi } = {b_1}\), \(\mathop P\limits_{\xi \to B} \) is the same as the change of coordinates matrix \({P_B}\) defines as \({P_B} = \left( {{b_1},{b_2}......{b_n}} \right)\).

Step by step solution

01

Assume \(B\) and \(C\) to be the bases for vector space \(V\)and \(\xi \) to be a standard basis in \({\mathbb{R}^n}\)

Suppose \(B = \left\{ {{b_1}.....{b_n}} \right\}\), \(C = \left\{ {{c_1}.....{c_n}} \right\}\) are the bases for vector space \(V\) and \(\xi = \left\{ {{e_1}......{e_n}} \right\}\) is the standard basis in \({\mathbb{R}^n}\).

02

Use the theorem for change of coordinates matrix from \(B\) to \(C\) and the concept of change of basis in \({\mathbb{R}^n}\)

If \(B = \left\{ {{b_1}.....{b_n}} \right\}\) and \(C = \left\{ {{c_1}.....{c_n}} \right\}\) are the bases for vector space \(V\), then according to the theorem of change of coordinates matrix from \(B\) to \(C\), there is always a matrix \(\mathop P\limits_{C \to B} \) of the dimension \(n \times n\) such that \({\left( x \right)_c} = \mathop P\limits_{C \to B} {\left( x \right)_B}\). It means that the vectors in basis \(B\) have \(C\) coordinate vector, which are the same as the columns of \(\mathop P\limits_{C \to B} \).

If \(B = \left\{ {{b_1}.....{b_n}} \right\}\) and \(\xi = \left\{ {{e_1}......{e_n}} \right\}\) are the standard bases in \({\mathbb{R}^n}\), then \({\left( {{b_1}} \right)_\xi } = {b_1}\). So, \(\mathop P\limits_{\xi \to B} \) is the same as the change of coordinates matrix \({P_B}\) defines as \({P_B} = \left( {{b_1},{b_2}......{b_n}} \right)\).

03

Draw a conclusion

So, statement (a) is false and statement (b) is true.

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?

Question: Determine if the matrix pairs in Exercises 19-22 are controllable.

20. \(A = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{.8}&{ - .3}&0\\{.2}&{.5}&1\\0&0&{ - .5}\end{array}} \right),B = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1\\1\\0\end{array}} \right)\).

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

  1. Show that if \(B\) is \(n \times p\), then rank\(AB \le {\mathop{\rm rank}\nolimits} A\). (Hint: Explain why every vector in the column space of \(AB\) is in the column space of \(A\).
  2. Show that if \(B\) is \(n \times p\), then rank\(AB \le {\mathop{\rm rank}\nolimits} B\). (Hint: Use part (a) to study rank\({\left( {AB} \right)^T}\).)

(M) Let \({{\mathop{\rm a}\nolimits} _1},...,{{\mathop{\rm a}\nolimits} _5}\) denote the columns of the matrix \(A\), where \(A = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}5&1&2&2&0\\3&3&2&{ - 1}&{ - 12}\\8&4&4&{ - 5}&{12}\\2&1&1&0&{ - 2}\end{array}} \right),B = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{{\mathop{\rm a}\nolimits} _1}}&{{{\mathop{\rm a}\nolimits} _2}}&{{{\mathop{\rm a}\nolimits} _4}}\end{array}} \right)\)

  1. Explain why \({{\mathop{\rm a}\nolimits} _3}\) and \({{\mathop{\rm a}\nolimits} _5}\) are in the column space of \(B\).
  2. Find a set of vectors that spans \({\mathop{\rm Nul}\nolimits} A\).
  3. Let \(T:{\mathbb{R}^5} \to {\mathbb{R}^4}\) be defined by \(T\left( x \right) = A{\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} \). Explain why \(T\) is neither one-to-one nor onto.
