Exam 1 Blank

This document contains a quiz with two multi-part questions about matrix operations and properties. Question 1 involves a 3x3 matrix A and finding its columns space based on its reduced row echelon form. Question 2 involves a 2x4 matrix A and finding its column space, reduced row echelon form, and a linear combination of columns that equals the zero vector. The document provides context for students taking Professor Strang's linear algebra class and lists available recitation sections.

(1.) (30 pts.) For a 3 by 3 matrix A, suppose all three multipliers are l21 = l31 = l32 = 3.
Each lij multiplies pivot row j when it is subtracted from row i.

(a) Assuming no row exchanges, what is A, if elimination reaches


 
1 1 1
 
U =
 0 2 1 ?

0 0 g

(b) In case g = 0, the three columns of A must be dependent. Find the nullspace (a
vector space) of A.

(c) In case g 6= 0, what is the column space of U ? What is the column space of the
original matrix A? How do you know?

(2.) (40 pts.) A is a 2 by 4 matrix with exactly two special solutions to Ax = 0 :

(a) Find the reduced row echelon form R of A.

(b) What is the column space of A?

(c) What is the complete solution to Rx = ?
6

(d) Find a combination of columns 2, 3, 4 that equals the zero vector.


(Not OK to use 0 (col 2) + 0 (col 3) + 0 (col 4) = 0. The problem is to
show that these 3 columns are dependent.)
