Math 280, Lecture 28, Apr 20

Section 4.7 – 4.8 Row Space, Column Space, and Null Space

 QUESTIONS
1. What is the dimension of row space, column space and null space.
2. How to find bases for these spaces.
3. Is there a relation between the dimensions of the above spaces

Example
2 x  3 y  5z  a
Given that the linear system x  3 y  4 z  b has a solution ( x, y, z )
1
x  2 y  z  c

Example

Find a basis for the null space of the matrix A=

By applying row operation we get


Dimension of the null space of A is equal to 3

Basis is


Remark Notice that A is in row echelon form
Basis for R and A is
