Explanation / Answer

5. The 2 vectors are linearly independent. Hence the dimension of the spanning set is 2.

23. Let the given 2x3 matrix be denoted by A. It may be observed that { (1,5)T} is the basis for col(A). Hence dim(col(A)) = 1 so that rank(A) = 1. Now, by the rank-nullity theorem, dim(ker(A)) = nullity of A = number of columns of A – rank(A) = 3-1 = 2.

Let the given 3x3 matrix be denoted by B. The RREF of B is

Hence the rank(B)= number of non-zero rows in RREF of B = 2. Then, by the rank-nullity theorem, dim(ker(B)) = nullity of B = number of columns of B – rank(B) = 3-2 = 1.

24. The 3 vectors are linearly independent. Hence the dimension of the spanning set is 3.

25. There are only 2 linearly independent vectors in the spanning set i.e. (1,2,0)T and (3,0,0)T. Therefore, the dimension of the spanning set is 2.
