Study Notes
Null Space (N(A))
- A vector belongs to N(A) if multiplication by matrix A results in the zero vector.
- To verify, check if Ax = 0.
Range/Column Space (R(A))
- To determine if a vector is in R(A), augment it with the matrix columns and verify whether the resulting system is consistent in REF.
Basis for Null Space (N(A))
- Find a basis by examining the free variables in the reduced echelon form of the augmented matrix [A | O].
- The steps include finding REF for the matrix, expressing the solutions as vectors, and selecting vectors corresponding to the free variables.
Basis for Column Space (R(A))
- Utilize pivot columns identified in REF(A) to form a basis.
- Columns from the original matrix corresponding to the pivot columns establish the basis for the column space.
Basis for Row Space
- The basis for the row space is derived from the rows in REF that contain pivot elements.
- Select only those rows that feature a leading entry (pivot).
Spanning R^n
- To check if a set of vectors spans R^n, obtain REF and confirm the presence of n pivot columns.
- The existence of n pivot columns indicates a complete spanning.
Basis of a Set of Vectors
- Create a column matrix from the given vectors.
- Identify pivot columns in REF(A) to determine the basis, which directly corresponds to original vectors in the set.
Vector in the Span
- To check if a vector lies within the span of given vectors, augment it to the original set and determine if the resulting REF is consistent.
- A consistent REF implies the vector is indeed spanned by the set.
Basis for a Subset of Vectors
- Form a matrix using the set of vectors and find REF.
- Columns corresponding to leading 1s indicate the basis elements from the original set.
- Identify non-basis columns by relating rows in REF to original columns to establish which columns are extra.
