Applied Mathematics 1411A/B Chapter Notes - Chapter 4.8: Row Echelon Form, Row And Column Spaces
Document Summary
4. 8 rank, nullity, and the fundamental matrix spaces. The row space and the column space of a matrix a have the same dimension. Nullity: the dimension of the null space of a dim(row space of a)=dim(row space of r) dim(column space of a)=dim(column space of r) If is any row echelon form of : Rank: the common dimension of the row space and column space of a matrix. If is an matrix: the number of leading variables in the general solution of. The number of parameters in the general solution of. If is a consistent linear system of equations in unknowns, and if has rank , then the general solution of the system contains parameters.
