If C is an mxn matrix prove that:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[dimRowA+\dim(NulA^t)=m\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

big danny boy. long time no speak

OpenStudy (dan815):

hey ya !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that should be A not C

OpenStudy (dan815):

i went on a hiatus during my classes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol why?

OpenStudy (dan815):

it was super rush!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats that?

OpenStudy (dan815):

they really packed that course in

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and u just let off at the lecturer?

OpenStudy (dan815):

what nonono

OpenStudy (anonymous):

looool

OpenStudy (dan815):

i mean that why i havent been on here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhhhhh yea. same i got fair bit of stuff to do myself.

OpenStudy (dan815):

you had summer classes too?

OpenStudy (dan815):

or winter classes i guess in australia

OpenStudy (dan815):

what does dim mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

need someone to answer this question and oldrinbataku is not online. nah this is not winter nor summer. its just in the normal uni slot

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we are in week 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8 weeks and summer sets in

OpenStudy (dan815):

T_T

OpenStudy (dan815):

i got 15 days left till classes

OpenStudy (dan815):

what does dim mean there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dimension

OpenStudy (dan815):

i was afraid of that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hahaha

OpenStudy (dan815):

lol

OpenStudy (dan815):

is that nul supposed to be short for nul space?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ideas?

OpenStudy (dan815):

i dont get the question lol

OpenStudy (dan815):

dimension of null space of a transform?

OpenStudy (dan815):

what if your null space as rows and colums

OpenStudy (dan815):

has

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its rows and columns no transform.

OpenStudy (dan815):

ok so is your question like this dimension of the rows of A + the dimension of the null spaces' rows and columns = m

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the dimnesion of the null space of columns and rows since its transopsed

OpenStudy (dan815):

okay umm soo wont your null space just be a long vector with 1 column = m rows

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think u gotta know the fact that \[rankA+dimNulA=n\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats the theorem

OpenStudy (dan815):

throwing random bits of linear algebra ive been learning lately so umm

OpenStudy (dan815):

then wouldnt the N = |-F | | I |

OpenStudy (dan815):

the size of F depending on the columns - number of pivots or rank of A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nah i think i got it. u are being too practical haha

OpenStudy (dan815):

lmao i like to think i helped

OpenStudy (dan815):

bro i dont know anything about linear algebra, so far ive just learnt there are these things called vector spaces and null spaces in R^n space

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is a medal good enough haha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha have you just stared it?

OpenStudy (dan815):

haha yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oooo

OpenStudy (anonymous):

loool. easy?

OpenStudy (dan815):

i learnt that a subspace you get with linear combinations of vectors of the matrix and null spaces you get from X in Ax=b

OpenStudy (dan815):

its all been very joyful so far lmao

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what about a basis for a subspace ;)

OpenStudy (dan815):

well it was mentioned

OpenStudy (dan815):

but more detail on that later later

OpenStudy (dan815):

i just heard him say the word by mistake lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a basis is related to a dimension

OpenStudy (dan815):

i see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if u had a subspace which contained 3 vectors and one was a linear combination of the other then the basis of that subspace would be the 2 lin independent vectors

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so dim=2

OpenStudy (dan815):

oh

OpenStudy (dan815):

interesting

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pretty sweet tbh

OpenStudy (dan815):

so it would be a plane in some R^n?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i didn't specify if it was in R3 or RN...just giving a general case

OpenStudy (dan815):

if a basis 1 vector then a linear combination of that basis forms an infinity line passing through the ALL IMPORTANT BEAUTIFUL 0,0

OpenStudy (dan815):

origin point

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lool. k from that info what would be the most simplest basis for r2?

OpenStudy (dan815):

this was stressed like some miraculous amazing point by the lecturer

OpenStudy (dan815):

a point

OpenStudy (dan815):

THE origin

OpenStudy (dan815):

[0,0]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol wat no bahaha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what makes up the whole of R2? just with one vector

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait 2 vectors

OpenStudy (dan815):

oh okay

OpenStudy (dan815):
