Find a basis of A.

anonymous · Answer

If you divide the first row by -1, the second row by 3, and the third row by -3, we reduce matrix A to
1 -3 -2
1 -3 -2
1 -3 -3.  Its row-echelon form is

1 -3 -2
0   0   0
0   0   0.

Therefore, a basis for the one-dimensional vector space that is the image of the transformation A from  R^3 to R is the column vector
[1, -3, -2]^T.

WHAT IF WE ARE TRYING TO FIND THE BASIS OF NULLSPACE(A) ? :D

anonymous · Answer

Finding a basis for the nullspace is equivalent to solving a system of equations.
Ax = 0 find the set of all x that satisfies it.
