Use the rank/nullity theorem to find the dimensions of the kernels and ranges of the linear transformations defined by the following matrices. State whether the transformations are one-to-one or not.



Answer :

(a) For the given matrix, the transformation is not one to one

(b) For the given matrix the transformation is one to one.

(a) Let us consider the following matrix:

A = [ 1    8   2

        0   1   -4

        0   0   0 ]

The two roes of A is linearly independently.

The rank of the matrix is 2

rank (T) = 2

The domain is R³

dim domain(T) = 3

therefore,

nullity (T) = dim domain(T) - rank(T)

                = 3 - 2

                = 1

Hence the transformation is not one to one.

(b) Let us consider the following matrix:

A = [ 1    4   2

        0   1   9

        0   0   1 ]

The three rows of B is linearly independently.

The rank of the matrix is 3

rank (T) = 3

The domain is R³

dim domain(T) = 3

therefore,

nullity (T) = dim domain(T) - rank(T)

                = 3 - 3

                = 0

Hence the transformation is  one to one.

Hence we prove the following matices.
