Linear Algebra

Topics Covered:

Linear independence, subspace, row/column space, null space, basis, dimension, linear transformations.
1. State TRUE or FALSE. Give a brief justication.
(a) For a matrix A in its row echelon form, the non-zero rows are linearly independent.
(b) If v1 and v2 are linearly independent vectors, and if {v1 , v2 , v3 } is a linearly dependent set, then v3
Span{v1 , v2 }.
(c) The vectors u, v and w are in Span(u, u + v, u + v + w).
(d) If all the columns of an m n nonzero matrix (it has at least one nonzero entry) A are equal then
rank(A) = 1.
(e) If A and B are square matrices such that AB is invertible then both A and B are invertible.
(f) If the equation AX = b has at least one solution for each b Rn , then the solution is unique for each b.
(g) Let A be an invertible matrix. If the vectors {x1 , x2 , . . . , xr } are linearly independent then the vectors
{Ax1 , Ax2 , . . . , Axr } are linearly independent.
(h) Let {v1 , . . . , vn } be a linearly independent set. Suppose there exists scalars i and i such that
