Assignment - 4

1. Find a basis of row space,

column space and null space for the matrix
3 1 3 4

A = 1 2 1 2. What are dimensions of row space, column space and null space?


3 8 4 2

2 3 4 1


0 6 7 0
2. Let U =
. Which three columns are linearly independent in U ? They will form basis

0 0 0 9

0 0 0 0
for C(U ) -column space of U . Give another two different sets which will also form a basis for C(U ).
This will show that basis are not unique !!
h i h i h i h i
3. Let v1 = 1 0 0 , v2 = 1 1 0 , v3 = 1 1 1 and v4 = 2 3 4 . Show that v1 , v2 , v3 are
linearly independent but v1 , v2 , v3 , v4 are linearly dependent.

4. Find the dimensions of (1) column space of A, (2) column space of U (3) row space of A (4) row
space of U . (5) Which two are the same??

1 1 0 1 1 0

A = 1 3 1 and U = 0 2 1


3 1 1 0 0 0

5. Look at the row space, column space and null space of the following matrices and decide which
subspaces are
the
same for these different size matrices?
A
(i) [A] .
A

A A A
(ii)
A A A

6. Find a matrix A that has V as its

row space
and a matrix
B that has V as its null space where V
1 1 1

is the space spanned by v1 = 0 v2 = 2 and v3 = 5.

7. 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 2 2 matrix is same as its row space.
(c) The column space of 2 2 matrix has dimension same as dimension of its row space.
(d) The columns of a matrix are a basis for the column space.
