Linear Algebra and Its Application.123 PDF

The document discusses linear independence, basis, and dimension in the context of vector spaces and matrices. Some key points: - The columns of a matrix A can be linearly independent, a basis, or neither. - If the columns of A are linearly independent, the rank of A is the number of columns. If they span the entire space, the rank is also the number of columns. If they form a basis, the rank is equal to the number of columns. - To find a basis for a plane in R3, first find a basis for the plane then find a basis for its intersection with another subspace like the xy-plane. One can also find a basis for vectors perpendicular to the plane

3 Linear Independence, Basis, and Dimension 113

(b) Those vectors (are)(are not)(might be) linearly independent.


(c) Any four of those vectors (are)(are not)(might be) a basis for R4 .
(d) If those vectors are the columns of A, then Ax = b (has) (does not have) (might
not have) a solution.
23. The columns of A are n vectors from Rm . If they are linearly independent, what is
the rank of A? If they span Rm , what is the rank? If they are a basis for Rm , what
then?
24. Find a basis for the plane x 2y + 3z = 0 in R3 . Then find a basis for the intersection
of that plane with the xy-plane. Then find a basis for all vectors perpendicular to the
plane.
25. Suppose the columns of a 5 by 5 matrix A are a basis for R5 .
(a) The equation Ax = 0 has only the solution x = 0 because .
(b) If b is in R5 then Ax = b is solvable because .
Conclusion: A is invertible. Its rank is 5.
26. Suppose S is a five-dimensional subspace of R6 . True or false?
(a) Every basis for S can be extended to a basis for R6 by adding one more vector.
(b) Every basis for R6 can be reduced to a basis for S by removing one vector.
27. U comes from A by subtracting row 1 from row 3:

1 3 2 1 3 2

A = 0 1 1 and U = 0 1 1 .
1 3 2 0 0 0
Find bases for the two column spaces. Find bases for the two row spaces. Find bases
for the two nullspace.
28. True or false (give a good reason)?
(a) If the columns of a matrix are dependent, so are the rows.
(b) The column space of a 2 by 2 matrix is the same as its row space.
(c) The column space of a 2 by 2 matrix has the same dimension as its row space.
(d) The columns of a matrix are a basis for the column space.
29. For which numbers c and d do these matrices have rank 2?

1 2 5 0 5 " #
c d
A = 0 0 c 2 2 and B = .
d c
0 0 0 d 2
