Study Notes
Linear Algebra Key Concepts
- Column dependence in matrix A implies Ax=0 has nonzero solutions.
- Row dependence in matrix A does not guarantee nonzero solutions for Ax=0.
- In R4, any set of six vectors is guaranteed to be linearly dependent.
- Existence of two distinct solutions for Ax=b indicates column dependence of matrix A.
- A linear transformation T(x) = Ax is invertible if the determinant of A is non-zero.
- Injective linear maps from R8 to R8 are also onto due to equal dimensions.
- Injective linear maps from R8 to R4 can be onto; dimension differences allow for this.
- Injective linear maps from R4 to R8 do not guarantee onto status, as dimension exceeds.
- Independence among vectors v1, v2, and v3 in Rn extends to pairs v2 and v3 being independent as well.
- Existence of an inverse for square matrix A requires Ax=0 to only have the trivial solution.
- A defined linear functional f retains linearity, with f(1,-2,0) yielding zero based on scaling of f(1,0,0) and f(0,1,0).
- The statement concerning X in matrices involving B and C is false when determining X=(C-B)A^(-1).
- For square matrices, the determinant relationship holds: det(ABA^(-1)C) = det(B)det(C) given A is invertible.
- A unique solution for Ax=0 leads to the conclusion that Ay=b can also only have a single solution.
- A linear transformation defined by matrix C is a bijection if the determinant of C is non-zero.
- The determinant of combined transformed matrices follows the relationship det((P^(-1)AP)^k) = (det(A))^k, preserving determinant properties.
- Basis formations of vectors via invertible matrices remain valid; (v1,...,vk) and (u1,...,uk) are both bases if one set forms a basis.
- The kernel of a linear map is always a linear subspace.
- Any linearly independent set in a vector space can be augmented to create a full basis for that space.
- For a linear span of independent vectors in subspace W, its dimension is at least the number of vectors m.
- It is impossible for a vector space to have two bases with differing cardinalities.
- Invertible n x n matrix columns form a basis for Rn due to spanning properties.
- For an m x n matrix M of rank r, the statement about column span dimension is incorrect; it instead has dimension r.
- The null space of an m x n matrix M of rank r has dimension n-r, capturing the essence of free variables and solutions.
