4 Images, Kernels, and Subspaces
In our study of linear transformations we've examined some of the conditions under which a transformation is invertible. Now we're ready to investigate some ideas similar to invertibility. Namely, we would like to measure the ways in which a transformation that is not invertible fails to have an inverse.4.1 The Image and Kernel of a Linear Transformation
Denition.Theimageof a function consists of all the values the function assumes. If f:X!Yis a function fromXtoY, then im(f) =ff(x) :x2Xg:Notice that im(f) is a subset ofY.
Denition.Thekernelof a function whose range isRnconsists of all the values in its domain at which the function assumes the value0. Iff:X!Rnis a function fromXto R n, then ker(f) =fx2X:f(x) = 0g: Notice that ker(f) is a subset ofX. Also, ifT(x) =Axis a linear transformation fromRm toRn, then ker(T) (also denoted ker(A)) is the set of solutions to the equationAx=0. The kernel gives us some new ways to characterize invertible matrices. Theorem 1.LetAbe annnmatrix. Then the following statements are equivalent.1.Ais invertible.
2. The linear system Ax=bhas a unique solutionxfor everyb2Rn. 3. rref (A) =In. 4. rank (A) =n. 5. im( A) =Rn. 6. k er(A) =f0g. Example 13.(x3.1, Exercise 39 of [1]) Consider annpmatrixAand apmmatrixB. (a) Wha tis the relationship b etweenk er(AB) and ker(B)? Are they always equal? Is one of them always contained in the other? (b) Wh atis the rela tionshipb etweenim( A) and im(AB)? (Solution) 22(a)Rec allthat k er(AB) is the set of vectorsx2Rmfor whichABx= 0, and similarly that ker(B) is the set of vectorsx2Rmfor whichBx= 0. Now ifxis in ker(B), then Bx= 0, soABx= 0. This means thatxis in ker(AB), so we see that ker(B) must always be contained in ker(AB). On the other hand, ker(AB) might not be a subset of ker(B). For instance, suppose that A=0 0 0 0 andB=1 0 0 1 ThenBis the identity matrix, so ker(B) =f0g. But every vector has image zero under AB, so ker(AB) =R2. Certainly ker(B) does not contain ker(AB) in this case. (b) S upposeyis in the image ofAB. Theny=ABxfor somex2Rm. That is, y=ABx=A(Bx); soyis the image ofBxunder multiplication byA, and is thus in the image ofA. So im(A) contains im(AB). On the other hand, consider A=1 0 0 0 andB=0 0 0 1 Then
AB=0 0
0 0 so im(AB) =f0g, but the image ofAis the span of the vector1 0 . So im(AB) does not necessarily contain im(A). Example 14.(x3.1, Exercise 48 of [1]) Consider a 22 matrixAwithA2=A. (a) If wis in the image ofA, what is the relationship betweenwandAw? (b) Wha tcan y ousa yab outAif rank(A) = 2? What if rank(A) = 0? (c) I fran k(A) = 1, show that the linear transformationT(x) =Axis the projection onto im(A) along ker(A). (Solution) (a) If wis in the image ofA, thenw=Avfor somev2R2. ThenAw=A(Av) =A2v=Av=w;
sinceA2=A. SoAw=w. 23(b)If rank( A) = 2, thenAis invertible. SinceA2=A, we see that
A=I2A= (A1A)A=A1A2=A1A=I2:
So the only rank 2 22 matrix with the property thatA2=Ais the identity matrix. On the other hand, if rank(A) = 0 thenAmust be the zero matrix. (c) I frank( A) = 1, thenAis not invertible, so ker(A)6=f0g. But we also know thatA is not the zero matrix, so ker(A)6=R2. We conclude that ker(A) must be a line in R2. Next, suppose we havew2ker(A)\im(A). ThenAw= 0 and, according to part
(a) ,Aw=w. Sowis the zero vector, meaning that ker(A)\im(A) =f0g. Since im(A) is neither 0 nor all ofR2, it also must be a line inR2. So ker(A) and im(A) are non-parallel lines inR2. Now choosex2R2and letw=xAx. Notice that Aw=AxA2x= 0, sow2ker(A). Then we may writexas the sum of an element of im(A) and an element of ker(A): x=Ax+w: According to Exercise 2.2.33, the mapT(x) =Axis then the projection onto im(A) along ker(A). Example 15.(x3.1, Exercise 50 of [1]) Consider a square matrixAwith ker(A2) = ker(A3).Is ker(A3) = ker(A4)? Justify your answer.
(Solution)Su pposex2ker(A3). ThenA3x=0, so A4x=A(A3x) =A0=0;
meaning thatx2ker(A4). So ker(A3) is contained in ker(A4). On the other hand, suppose x2ker(A4). ThenA4x=0, soA3(Ax) =0. This means thatAxis in the kernel ofA3, and thus in ker(A2). So A3x=A2(Ax) =0;
meaning thatx2ker(A3). So ker(A4) is contained in ker(A3). Since each set contains the other, the two are equal: ker(A3) = ker(A4).4.2 Subspaces
Denition.A subsetWof the vector spaceRnis called asubspaceofRnif it (i) c ontainsthe zero v ector; (ii) is closed under v ectorad dition; (iii) is closed under sca larm ultiplication. 24One important observation we can immediately make is that for anynmmatrixA, ker(A) is a subspace ofRmand im(A) is a subspace ofRn. Denition.Suppose we have vectorsv1;:::;vminRn. We say that a vectorviisre- dundantifviis a linear combination of the preceding vectorsv1;:::;vi1. We say that the set of vectorsv1;:::;vmislinearly independentif none of them is redundant, and linearly dependentotherwise. If the vectorsv1;:::;vmare linearly independent and span a subspaceVofRn, we say thatv1;:::;vmform abasisofV. Example 16.(x3.2, Exercise 26 of [1]) Find a redundant column vector of the following matrix and write it as a linear combination of the preceding columns. Use this representation to write a nontrivial relation among the columns, and thus nd a nonzero vector in the kernel ofA. A=2
