Problem (10 Marks)

Find the Column-space, Row-space and Null-space of the Given Matrix:

2 0 0 −4
𝐴 = [0 0 0 0]
0 0 0 3
We don’t need to do Gauss Elimination, so
2 −4
𝒞(𝐴) = 𝑠𝑝𝑎𝑛 ([0] , [ 0 ])
0 3
2 0
0 0
ℛ(𝐴) = 𝑠𝑝𝑎𝑛 ([ ] , [ ])
0 0
−4 3
For 𝒩(𝐴), we’ll solve 𝐴𝑥 = 0

3𝑥4 = 0 ⇒ 𝑥4 = 0

&

2𝑥1 − 4𝑥4 = 0 ⇒ 𝑥1 = 0

Now, let

𝑥2 = 𝑠 & 𝑥3 = 𝑡
𝑥1 0 0 0
𝑥2 𝑠 1 0
𝑥 = [𝑥 ] = [ ] = [ ] 𝑠 + [ ] 𝑡
3 𝑡 0 1
𝑥4 0 0 0
0 0
1 0
𝒩(𝐴) = 𝑠𝑝𝑎𝑛 ([ ] , [ ])
0 1
0 0
