Short Answer

Question: In Exercises 1 through 20, find the redundant column vectors of the given matrix A “by inspection.” Then find a basis of the image of A and a basis of the kernel of A.

16.[1-20-100015000001]

The redundant column vectors of matrix A v2 and v4 .

The basis of the image of A =100,010,001

The basis of the kernel of A = 21000, 1 0-5 1 0

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Finding the redundant vectors

Let v1=100, v2=-2 0 0, v3=010, v4=-1 5 0, v5=001

Here we have v2=2v1 and v4=-v3+5v3

v2 are v4 redundant vectors and v1,v3 and v5 are non-redundant vectors.

Step 2:   Finding the basis of the image of A

The non-redundant column vectors of A form the basis of the image of A.

Since column vectors v1,v3 and v5 non-redundant vectors of matrix A, thus the basis of the image A =100, 010, 001 i.e. .

Step 3: Finding the basis of the kernel of A

v2 and v4 Since the vectors are redundant vectors such that

v2=2v1 and v4=-v1+5v32v1+v2+0 and v1-5v3+v4=0

Thus the vectors in kernel of A is w1=21000, w2= 1 0-5 1 0.

Step 4: Final Answer

The redundant column vectors of matrix A are v2 and v4.

The basis of the image of A = 100, 010, 001

The basis of the kernel of A = 21000, 1 0-5 1 0
