(a) Find the rank and nullity of

Rank = 3 Nullity = 5 – 3 = 2

(b) Find a basis for the row space of

{(𝟏, 𝟎, 𝟑, 𝟎, −𝟒), (𝟎, 𝟏, −𝟏, 𝟎, 𝟐), (𝟎, 𝟎, 𝟎, 𝟏, −𝟐)}

(c) Find a basis for the column space of

𝟏 𝟐 𝟎
= {[ ] , [ ] , [ 𝟏 ]}
𝟐 𝟓
𝟑 𝟕 𝟐
𝟒 𝟗 −𝟏

(d) Find a basis for the nullspace of

𝑥1 + 3𝑥3 − 4𝑥5 = 0
𝑥2 − 𝑥3 + 2𝑥5 = 0
𝑥4 − 2𝑥5 = 0
𝑥5 = 𝑡
𝑥4 = 2𝑡
𝑥3 = 𝑠
𝑥2 = 𝑠 − 2𝑡
𝑥1 = −3𝑠 + 4𝑡
−3𝑠 + 4𝑡 −3 4
𝑠 − 2𝑡 1 −2
= 𝑠 =𝑠 1 +𝑡 0
2𝑡 0 2
[ 𝑡 ] [0] [1]

(e) Determine whether the rows of are linearly dependent

𝑥5 = 𝑡
𝑥4 = 2𝑡
𝑥3 = 𝑠
𝑥2 = 𝑠 − 2𝑡
𝑥1 = −3𝑠 + 4𝑡

Therefore, linearly dependent
