031 Review Part 3, Problem 8

Consider the matrix  $A={\begin{bmatrix}1&-4&9&-7\\-1&2&-4&1\\5&-6&10&7\end{bmatrix}}$  and assume that it is row equivalent to the matrix

$B={\begin{bmatrix}1&0&-1&5\\0&-2&5&-6\\0&0&0&0\end{bmatrix}}.$

(a) List rank  $A$  and  ${\text{dim Nul }}A.$

(b) Find bases for  ${\text{Col }}A$  and  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \text{Nul }A.}   Find an example of a nonzero vector that belongs to  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \text{Col }A,}   as well as an example of a nonzero vector that belongs to  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \text{Nul }A.}
