Show that T(x1, x2, x3, x4) = 3x1 −7x2 + 5x4 is a linear transformation by finding the

matrix for the transformation. Then find a basis for the null space of the transforma￾tion.


Let T : R

n → R

m be a linear transformation, and let {v1, v2, ..., vn} be a linearly

dependent set. Show that the set {T(v1), T(v2), ..., T(vn)} is also necessarily linearly

dependent.

(a) Suppose that a matrix in echelon form has more rows than columns. Show that that the matrix must have at least one zero row.

Hints: To get intuition, try this out with a 3 × 2 matrix first. Can there be more pivots than

columns? Consider the row with the last pivot. What must the next row look like?


(b) Suppose that a matrix in echelon form has more columns than rows. Show that there

must be at least one column which does not contain a pivot.

Hints: To get intuition, try this out with a 2×3 matrix first. Can there be more pivots than rows?


{F} Work Out
