Let T:VWT:V\rightarrow W be a lin. trans. from a fin-dim. v.s. V to an arbitrary space W, then what does the Rank-Nullity Theorem state?

rank(T) + nullity(T) = dim(V)

2
New cards

Let V and W be vector spaces over a field K with dim(V) = dim(W) = n, then when is a lin. trans. T:VWT:V\rightarrow W injective?

iff it is surjective

3
New cards

Let A be an m x n matrix in Mmn(K)M_{mn}\left(K\right), then what is the row space of A (Row(A))?

the subspace of KnK^{n} spanned by the rows of A

4
New cards

Let A be an m x n matrix in Mmn(K)M_{mn}\left(K\right), then what is the column space of A (Col(A))?

the subspace of KmK^{m} spanned by the columns of A

5
New cards

If A,BMmn(K)A,B\in M_{mn}\left(K\right) are row equivalent / column equivalent wht can we say about Row(B) and Col(B)?

Row(B) = Row(A)

Col(B) = Col(A)

6
New cards

For any matrix AMmn(K)A\in M_{mn}\left(K\right), what is the dimension of Row(A), and what is a basis for Row(A)?

-dim(Row(A)) is the number of non-zero rows in the RREF of A

-these non-zero rows form the basis for Row(A)

7
New cards

For any m x n matrix A, what is the null space of A (Null(A))?

Null(A)={vKnAv=0}Null(A)=\left\lbrace v\in K^{n}\vert Av=0\right\rbrace

8
New cards

What is dim(Null(A))? (=dim(Ker(TAT_{A})))

nullity(A) (=nullity(TAT_{A}))

9
New cards

Let AMmn(K)A\in M_{mn}\left(K\right). Define TA:KnKmT_{A}:K^{n}\rightarrow K^{m} to be the lin. trans. given by TA(v)=AvT_{A}\left(v\right)=Av, then what does Col(A) equal?

Im(TA)Im\left(T_{A}\right)

10
New cards

What is dim(Col(A))? (=dim(Im(TAT_{A})))

rank(A) (=rank(TAT_{A}))

11
New cards

If A is an m x n matrix, then what does the Rank-Nullity Theorem for matrices state?

rank(A) + nullity(A) = n

12
New cards

Let AMmn(K)A\in M_{mn}\left(K\right), then what does dim(Col(A)) equal and what does this imply about the rank(ATA^{T})?

-dim(Col(A)) = dim(Row(A))

-rank(ATA^{T}) = rank(A)

13
New cards

Let AMmn(K)A\in M_{mn}\left(K\right), then when is λK\lambda\in K an eigenvalue of A?

iff it is an eigenvalue of ATA^{T}
