Description
This question is about an m by n matrix A for which
⎡1 ⎤ ⎡0 ⎤
Ax has no solutions and has exactly one solution.
- Give all possible information about m and n and the rank r of A.
- Find all solutions to Ax = 0 and explain your
- Write down an example of a matrix A that fits the description in part (a).

(24 The 3 by 3 matrix A reduces to the identity matrix I by the following three
row operations (in order):
| E21 : | Subtract 4(row 1) from row 2. |
| E31 : | Subtract 3(row 1) from row 3. |
| E23 : | Subtract row 3 from row 2. |
- Write the inverse matrix A−1 in terms of the E’s. Then compute A−1 .
- What is the original matrix A ?
- What is the lower triangular factor L in A = LU ?

- For each c find a basis for the column space of A.
- For each c find a basis for the nullspace of A.
⎡1 ⎤
- For each c find the complete solution .

(24 (a) If A is a 3 by 5 matrix, what information do you have about the
nullspace of A ?
- Suppose row operations on A lead to this matrix R = rref(A):
⎡1 4 0 0 0 ⎤
Write all known information about the columns of A.
- In the vector space M of all 3 by 3 matrices (you could call this a matrix space), what subspace S is spanned by all possible row reduced echelon forms R ?
