∻Solution by Steps∻ ‖ step 1 ⋮ To find the rank of the matrix $H = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & -2 & 4 & -2 & 0 \ 3 & 0 & 6 & -1 & 2 \ 1 & 3 & 0 & 0 & 2 \end{bmatrix}$, we perform row reduction to echelon form. ‖ ‖ step 2 ⋮ After row reduction, the matrix $H$ is transformed into echelon form, revealing that there are 3 non-zero rows. Therefore, the rank of $H$ is 3. ‖ ‖ step 3 ⋮ To find the column space of $H$, we identify the pivot columns in the row-reduced form of $H$. The pivot columns correspond to the original columns of $H$. ‖ ‖ step 4 ⋮ The column space of $H$ is spanned by the vectors $\begin{bmatrix} 2 \ 3 \ 1 \end{bmatrix}$, $\begin{bmatrix} -2 \ 0 \ 3 \end{bmatrix}$, and $\begin{bmatrix} 4 \ 6 \ 0 \end{bmatrix}$. Therefore, the column space is $R^3$. ‖ ‖ step 5 ⋮ To find the null space of $H$, we solve the equation $H \mathbf{x} = \mathbf{0}$. This involves finding the solutions to the homogeneous system of linear equations represented by $H$. ‖ ‖ step 6 ⋮ The null space of $H$ is given by the set of all vectors $\mathbf{x}$ such that $H \mathbf{x} = \mathbf{0}$. The null space can be expressed as $\{(12x, -4x - 2y, -5x - y, 6x, 3y) : x, y \in \mathbb{R}\}$. ‖ ‖ step 7 ⋮ To show that $V = \left\{ \begin{bmatrix} 2 \ 3 \ 1 \end{bmatrix}, \begin{bmatrix} -2 \ 0 \ 3 \end{bmatrix}, \begin{bmatrix} 4 \ 6 \ 0 \end{bmatrix} ight\}$ is a basis for $R^3$, we need to show that these vectors are linearly independent and span $R^3$. ‖ ‖ step 8 ⋮ We form the matrix $A = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & -2 & 4 \ 3 & 0 & 6 \ 1 & 3 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$ and perform row reduction. The matrix $A$ reduces to the identity matrix, indicating that the vectors are linearly independent and span $R^3$. Therefore, $V$ is a basis for $R^3$. ‖ ‖ step 9 ⋮ To find the coordinate vector of $u = \begin{bmatrix} -2 \ -1 \ 0 \end{bmatrix}$ relative to the basis $V$, we express $u$ as a linear combination of the basis vectors: $u = c_1 \begin{bmatrix} 2 \ 3 \ 1 \end{bmatrix} + c_2 \begin{bmatrix} -2 \ 0 \ 3 \end{bmatrix} + c_3 \begin{bmatrix} 4 \ 6 \ 0 \end{bmatrix}$. ‖ ‖ step 10 ⋮ Solving the system of equations, we find the coordinates $c_1$, $c_2$, and $c_3$. The coordinate vector of $u$ relative to the basis $V$ is $\begin{bmatrix} -0.668965 \ 0.594635 \ -0.445976 \end{bmatrix}$. ‖ ∻Answer∻ ⚹ The rank of $H$ is 3. The column space of $H$ is $R^3$. The null space of $H$ is $\{(12x, -4x - 2y, -5x - y, 6x, 3y) : x, y \in \mathbb{R}\}$. The set $V$ is a basis for $R^3$. The coordinate vector of $u$ relative to the basis $V$ is $\begin{bmatrix} -0.668965 \ 0.594635 \ -0.445976 \end{bmatrix}$. ⚹ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹Matrix rank, column space, null space, basis, and coordinate vector⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹The rank of a matrix is the number of linearly independent rows or columns.
