The solution of Ax=bis vector b in Span{V1Vn} vector eqn(x1v1+xpvp=b) or Aug Matrix[v1vp b] or matrix eqn(Ax=b) have a solution/ consistent is b a linear

combination of {a1a2} Thm 4 the eqn Ax=b has a solution Logically equivalent by def b is a linear comboination of the columns A If D is true then there is no pivot in Aug column The columns of A span Rm(Ax=b has a solution so A is true by Thm 2(rightmost column is not a so the columns can span) pivot column so it is consistent) A has a pivot position in every row Trivial=(zero solution) Linear independent has the trivial solution is the only ( the columns of Ax=0 has only the trivial solution, no free variable). Linear dependence has nontrivial solution (when the weights are not all zero) Determine if the set {v1vp} are linearly independent rref no free variableshas a pivot position in every row Linearly dependent rref Free variable non trivial Set of 1 or 2 vectors -because the zero vector is linearly dependent and has many non trivial solution; 1 vector is linearly independent if v is not the zero vector - a set of 2 vector are linearly dependent if one of the vectors is a multiple of the other; linearly independent if neither if the vector is a multiple of the other Set of 2 or more vectors -is linearly dependent if one vector is a linear combo of the othersif s is linearly dependent and v10 then some vj(j>1) is a linear combo of the preceding vectors Special cases in which linear dependence is automatic -if a set has more vectors then entries it is linearly dependent{V1Vp} in Rn p>n more variables than eqnsthere is a free variable so nontrivial solution so linearly dependent -{V1Vp} in Rn contains the zero vector then it is linearly dependent vector c is in the range of T if c is in the image of some x in R2if c=T(x) if the system Ax=c is consistent (exsistence question) is there more then one x whose image under T is buniqueness problem the image of [2;2] is [1 3;0 1][2 ;2]=[8 ;2] T is linear if T(u+v)=T(u)+t(v) if T is a linear transformation T(0)=0 T(cu)=cT(u) T(cu+dv)=cT(u)+dT(v) Linear transformation T: RnRm there exsists a unique matrix A T(x)=Ax. A=[T(e1)T(en)] Standard matrix for lineat transformation is A=[T(e1)T(en)] e1=[1;0] T: RnRm is ONTO Rm if each b in Rm is the image of at least one x in Rn Does T map Rn ontp Rm does a solution exists if T(x)=b has no solution it is NOT onto is consistent then it is onto T: RnRm is one-to-one id each b in Rm is the image of at most one x in Rn does t(x)=b have a unique solution or none at allif T has a b in Rm is the image of more then one vector in R n then it is NOT one-to-one has a free variable it is not one to one - T: RnRm.. is one to one if T(x)=0 has only trivial solution n T: R Rm and A is a standard matrix then - T maps Rn onto Rm if the columns of A span Rm - T is one-to-one if the columns of A are linearly independent(has only the trivial solution)
