Self-quiz 29
T ((x, y, z)T^ ) = (x โ y, 2 x + y + 3z, x + y + 2z)T
Determine the dimension of its kernel and the dimension of its image.
Solution: We know that the two dimensions add up to 3. So it is enough to compute one of them. The dimension of the image is the same as the rank of the matrix representing this linear map with respect to the canonical bases. This matrix is as follows:
We will compute the rank of this matrix by performing row and column operations that will bring it in a particularly simple form:
1 3 R^2
This means that this matrix has rank 3 and therefore the given vector is not a linear combination of the other two.
