M is the slope and b is the Y-Intercept. The standard form for linear equations in two variables is Ax+By=C. Thus by Lemma 9.7.1 \(T\) is one to one. Then \(W=V\) if and only if the dimension of \(W\) is also \(n\). \[\begin{aligned} \mathrm{im}(T) & = \{ p(1) ~|~ p(x)\in \mathbb{P}_1 \} \\ & = \{ a+b ~|~ ax+b\in \mathbb{P}_1 \} \\ & = \{ a+b ~|~ a,b\in\mathbb{R} \}\\ & = \mathbb{R}\end{aligned}\] Therefore a basis for \(\mathrm{im}(T)\) is \[\left\{ 1 \right\}\nonumber \] Notice that this is a subspace of \(\mathbb{R}\), and in fact is the space \(\mathbb{R}\) itself. \[\begin{array}{c} x+y=a \\ x+2y=b \end{array}\nonumber \] Set up the augmented matrix and row reduce. Now consider the linear system \[\begin{align}\begin{aligned} x+y&=1\\2x+2y&=2.\end{aligned}\end{align} \nonumber \] It is clear that while we have two equations, they are essentially the same equation; the second is just a multiple of the first. - Sarvesh Ravichandran Iyer Actually, the correct formula for slope intercept form is . In linear algebra, vectors are taken while forming linear functions. We answer this question by forming the augmented matrix and starting the process of putting it into reduced row echelon form. For the specific case of \(\mathbb{R}^3\), there are three special vectors which we often use. \end{aligned}\end{align} \nonumber \], \[\begin{align}\begin{aligned} x_1 &= 3\\ x_2 &=1 \\ x_3 &= 1 . Furthermore, since \(T\) is onto, there exists a vector \(\vec{x}\in \mathbb{R}^k\) such that \(T(\vec{x})=\vec{y}\). Rank is thus a measure of the "nondegenerateness" of the system of linear equations and linear transformation . The answer to this question lies with properly understanding the reduced row echelon form of a matrix. It is also a good practice to acknowledge the fact that our free variables are, in fact, free. Give an example (different from those given in the text) of a 2 equation, 2 unknown linear system that is not consistent. Now, consider the case of \(\mathbb{R}^n\) for \(n=1.\) Then from the definition we can identify \(\mathbb{R}\) with points in \(\mathbb{R}^{1}\) as follows: \[\mathbb{R} = \mathbb{R}^{1}= \left\{ \left( x_{1}\right) :x_{1}\in \mathbb{R} \right\}\nonumber \] Hence, \(\mathbb{R}\) is defined as the set of all real numbers and geometrically, we can describe this as all the points on a line. When this happens, we do learn something; it means that at least one equation was a combination of some of the others. Let \(T: \mathbb{R}^n \mapsto \mathbb{R}^m\) be a linear transformation. A consistent linear system of equations will have exactly one solution if and only if there is a leading 1 for each variable in the system. { "1.4.01:_Exercises_1.4" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()" }, { "1.01:_Introduction_to_Linear_Equations" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "1.02:_Using_Matrices_to_Solve_Systems_of_Linear_Equations" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "1.03:_Elementary_Row_Operations_and_Gaussian_Elimination" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "1.04:_Existence_and_Uniqueness_of_Solutions" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "1.05:_Applications_of_Linear_Systems" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()" }, { "00:_Front_Matter" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "01:_Systems_of_Linear_Equations" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "02:_Matrix_Arithmetic" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "03:_Operations_on_Matrices" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "04:_Eigenvalues_and_Eigenvectors" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "05:_Graphical_Explorations_of_Vectors" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "zz:_Back_Matter" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()" }, 1.4: Existence and Uniqueness of Solutions, [ "article:topic", "authorname:apex", "license:ccbync", "licenseversion:30", "source@https://github.com/APEXCalculus/Fundamentals-of-Matrix-Algebra", "source@http://www.apexcalculus.com/" ], https://math.libretexts.org/@app/auth/3/login?returnto=https%3A%2F%2Fmath.libretexts.org%2FBookshelves%2FLinear_Algebra%2FFundamentals_of_Matrix_Algebra_(Hartman)%2F01%253A_Systems_of_Linear_Equations%2F1.04%253A_Existence_and_Uniqueness_of_Solutions, \( \newcommand{\vecs}[1]{\overset { \scriptstyle \rightharpoonup} {\mathbf{#1}}}\) \( \newcommand{\vecd}[1]{\overset{-\!-\!\rightharpoonup}{\vphantom{a}\smash{#1}}} \)\(\newcommand{\id}{\mathrm{id}}\) \( \newcommand{\Span}{\mathrm{span}}\) \( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\) \( \newcommand{\range}{\mathrm{range}\,}\) \( \newcommand{\RealPart}{\mathrm{Re}}\) \( \newcommand{\ImaginaryPart}{\mathrm{Im}}\) \( \newcommand{\Argument}{\mathrm{Arg}}\) \( \newcommand{\norm}[1]{\| #1 \|}\) \( \newcommand{\inner}[2]{\langle #1, #2 \rangle}\) \( \newcommand{\Span}{\mathrm{span}}\) \(\newcommand{\id}{\mathrm{id}}\) \( \newcommand{\Span}{\mathrm{span}}\) \( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\) \( \newcommand{\range}{\mathrm{range}\,}\) \( \newcommand{\RealPart}{\mathrm{Re}}\) \( \newcommand{\ImaginaryPart}{\mathrm{Im}}\) \( \newcommand{\Argument}{\mathrm{Arg}}\) \( \newcommand{\norm}[1]{\| #1 \|}\) \( \newcommand{\inner}[2]{\langle #1, #2 \rangle}\) \( \newcommand{\Span}{\mathrm{span}}\)\(\newcommand{\AA}{\unicode[.8,0]{x212B}}\), Definition: Consistent and Inconsistent Linear Systems, Definition: Dependent and Independent Variables, Key Idea \(\PageIndex{1}\): Consistent Solution Types, Key Idea \(\PageIndex{2}\): Inconsistent Systems of Linear Equations, source@https://github.com/APEXCalculus/Fundamentals-of-Matrix-Algebra. If \(k\neq 6\), then our next step would be to make that second row, second column entry a leading one. Consider the reduced row echelon form of an augmented matrix of a linear system of equations. Let \(T: \mathbb{R}^n \mapsto \mathbb{R}^m\) be a linear transformation induced by the \(m \times n\) matrix \(A\). This vector it is obtained by starting at \(\left( 0,0,0\right)\), moving parallel to the \(x\) axis to \(\left( a,0,0\right)\) and then from here, moving parallel to the \(y\) axis to \(\left( a,b,0\right)\) and finally parallel to the \(z\) axis to \(\left( a,b,c\right).\) Observe that the same vector would result if you began at the point \(\left( d,e,f \right)\), moved parallel to the \(x\) axis to \(\left( d+a,e,f\right) ,\) then parallel to the \(y\) axis to \(\left( d+a,e+b,f\right) ,\) and finally parallel to the \(z\) axis to \(\left( d+a,e+b,f+c\right)\). This page titled 1.4: Existence and Uniqueness of Solutions is shared under a CC BY-NC 3.0 license and was authored, remixed, and/or curated by Gregory Hartman et al. Using Theorem \(\PageIndex{1}\) we can show that \(T\) is onto but not one to one from the matrix of \(T\). We will start by looking at onto. More precisely, if we write the vectors in \(\mathbb{R}^3\) as 3-tuples of the form \((x,y,z)\), then \(\Span(v_1,v_2)\) is the \(xy\)-plane in \(\mathbb{R}^3\). The textbook definition of linear is: "progressing from one stage to another in a single series of steps; sequential." Which makes sense because if we are transforming these matrices linearly they would follow a sequence based on how they are scaled up or down. Similarly, a linear transformation which is onto is often called a surjection. A system of linear equations is inconsistent if the reduced row echelon form of its corresponding augmented matrix has a leading 1 in the last column. Accessibility StatementFor more information contact us atinfo@libretexts.org. We now wish to find a basis for \(\mathrm{im}(T)\). This is the composite linear transformation. The notation \(\mathbb{R}^{n}\) refers to the collection of ordered lists of \(n\) real numbers, that is \[\mathbb{R}^{n} = \left\{ \left( x_{1}\cdots x_{n}\right) :x_{j}\in \mathbb{R}\text{ for }j=1,\cdots ,n\right\}\nonumber \] In this chapter, we take a closer look at vectors in \(\mathbb{R}^n\). The result is the \(2 \times 4\) matrix A given by \[A = \left [ \begin{array}{rrrr} 1 & 0 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 1 & 1 & 0 \end{array} \right ]\nonumber \] Fortunately, this matrix is already in reduced row-echelon form. We can now use this theorem to determine this fact about \(T\). We can picture all of these solutions by thinking of the graph of the equation \(y=x\) on the traditional \(x,y\) coordinate plane. If \(\mathrm{ rank}\left( T\right) =m,\) then by Theorem \(\PageIndex{2}\), since \(\mathrm{im} \left( T\right)\) is a subspace of \(W,\) it follows that \(\mathrm{im}\left( T\right) =W\). However, it boils down to look at the reduced form of the usual matrix.. Let us learn how to . The idea behind the more general \(\mathbb{R}^n\) is that we can extend these ideas beyond \(n = 3.\) This discussion regarding points in \(\mathbb{R}^n\) leads into a study of vectors in \(\mathbb{R}^n\). Taking the vector \(\left [ \begin{array}{c} x \\ y \\ 0 \\ 0 \end{array} \right ] \in \mathbb{R}^4\) we have \[T \left [ \begin{array}{c} x \\ y \\ 0 \\ 0 \end{array} \right ] = \left [ \begin{array}{c} x + 0 \\ y + 0 \end{array} \right ] = \left [ \begin{array}{c} x \\ y \end{array} \right ]\nonumber \] This shows that \(T\) is onto. Once again, we get a bit of an unusual solution; while \(x_2\) is a dependent variable, it does not depend on any free variable; instead, it is always 1. From this theorem follows the next corollary. Hence by Definition \(\PageIndex{1}\), \(T\) is one to one. In linear algebra, the rank of a matrix A is the dimension of the vector space generated (or spanned) by its columns. Now let us take the reduced matrix and write out the corresponding equations. From here on out, in our examples, when we need the reduced row echelon form of a matrix, we will not show the steps involved. We define them now. The following is a compilation of symbols from the different branches of algebra, which . Recall that the point given by \(0=\left( 0, \cdots, 0 \right)\) is called the origin. Notice that there is only one leading 1 in that matrix, and that leading 1 corresponded to the \(x_1\) variable. So far, whenever we have solved a system of linear equations, we have always found exactly one solution. The linear span of a set of vectors is therefore a vector space. \(T\) is onto if and only if the rank of \(A\) is \(m\). However its performance is still quite good (not extremely good though) and is used quite often; mostly because of its portability. Notice that in this context, \(\vec{p} = \overrightarrow{0P}\). We have infinite choices for the value of \(x_2\), so therefore we have infinite solutions. Suppose \(p(x)=ax^2+bx+c\in\ker(S)\). The kernel, \(\ker \left( T\right)\), consists of all \(\vec{v}\in V\) such that \(T(\vec{v})=\vec{0}\). In this case, we have an infinite solution set, just as if we only had the one equation \(x+y=1\). As a general rule, when we are learning a new technique, it is best to not use technology to aid us. Since \(S\) is onto, there exists a vector \(\vec{y}\in \mathbb{R}^n\) such that \(S(\vec{y})=\vec{z}\). Let \(T:\mathbb{R}^n \mapsto \mathbb{R}^m\) be a linear transformation. In those cases we leave the variable in the system just to remind ourselves that it is there. Therefore, \(A \left( \mathbb{R}^n \right)\) is the collection of all linear combinations of these products. INTRODUCTION Linear algebra is the math of vectors and matrices. We often call a linear transformation which is one-to-one an injection.

Then \(T\) is one to one if and only if \(T(\vec{x}) = \vec{0}\) implies \(\vec{x}=\vec{0}\). via source content that was edited to the style and standards of the LibreTexts platform; a detailed edit history is available upon request. Rows of zeros sometimes appear unexpectedly in matrices after they have been put in reduced row echelon form. Equivalently, if \(T\left( \vec{x}_1 \right) =T\left( \vec{x}_2\right) ,\) then \(\vec{x}_1 = \vec{x}_2\). Suppose then that \[\sum_{i=1}^{r}c_{i}\vec{v}_{i}+\sum_{j=1}^{s}a_{j}\vec{u}_{j}=0\nonumber \] Apply \(T\) to both sides to obtain \[\sum_{i=1}^{r}c_{i}T(\vec{v}_{i})+\sum_{j=1}^{s}a_{j}T(\vec{u} _{j})=\sum_{i=1}^{r}c_{i}T(\vec{v}_{i})= \vec{0}\nonumber \] Since \(\left\{ T(\vec{v}_{1}),\cdots ,T(\vec{v}_{r})\right\}\) is linearly independent, it follows that each \(c_{i}=0.\) Hence \(\sum_{j=1}^{s}a_{j}\vec{u }_{j}=0\) and so, since the \(\left\{ \vec{u}_{1},\cdots ,\vec{u}_{s}\right\}\) are linearly independent, it follows that each \(a_{j}=0\) also. The third component determines the height above or below the plane, depending on whether this number is positive or negative, and all together this determines a point in space. This leads us to a definition. Let \(\vec{z}\in \mathbb{R}^m\). Discuss it. \[\left[\begin{array}{cccc}{1}&{1}&{1}&{5}\\{1}&{-1}&{1}&{3}\end{array}\right]\qquad\overrightarrow{\text{rref}}\qquad\left[\begin{array}{cccc}{1}&{0}&{1}&{4}\\{0}&{1}&{0}&{1}\end{array}\right] \nonumber \], Converting these two rows into equations, we have \[\begin{align}\begin{aligned} x_1+x_3&=4\\x_2&=1\\ \end{aligned}\end{align} \nonumber \] giving us the solution \[\begin{align}\begin{aligned} x_1&= 4-x_3\\x_2&=1\\x_3 &\text{ is free}.\\ \end{aligned}\end{align} \nonumber \]. Therefore, we have shown that for any \(a, b\), there is a \(\left [ \begin{array}{c} x \\ y \end{array} \right ]\) such that \(T\left [ \begin{array}{c} x \\ y \end{array} \right ] =\left [ \begin{array}{c} a \\ b \end{array} \right ]\). More succinctly, if we have a leading 1 in the last column of an augmented matrix, then the linear system has no solution. The first variable will be the basic (or dependent) variable; all others will be free variables. Is \(T\) onto? Here, the two vectors are dependent because (3,6) is a multiple of the (1,2) (or vice versa): . Linear algebra is a branch of mathematics that deals with linear equations and their representations in the vector space using matrices. We can write the image of \(T\) as \[\mathrm{im}(T) = \left\{ \left [ \begin{array}{c} a - b \\ c + d \end{array} \right ] \right\}\nonumber \] Notice that this can be written as \[\mathrm{span} \left\{ \left [ \begin{array}{c} 1 \\ 0 \end{array}\right ], \left [ \begin{array}{c} -1 \\ 0 \end{array}\right ], \left [ \begin{array}{c} 0 \\ 1 \end{array}\right ], \left [ \begin{array}{c} 0 \\ 1 \end{array}\right ] \right\}\nonumber \], However this is clearly not linearly independent. We can think as above that the first two coordinates determine a point in a plane.

Now suppose \(n=2\). Isolate the w. When dividing or multiplying by a negative number, always flip the inequality sign: Move the negative sign from the denominator to the numerator: Find the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator: 3. We have now seen examples of consistent systems with exactly one solution and others with infinite solutions. By definition, \[\ker(S)=\{ax^2+bx+c\in \mathbb{P}_2 ~|~ a+b=0, a+c=0, b-c=0, b+c=0\}.\nonumber \]. By removing vectors from the set to create an independent set gives a basis of \(\mathrm{im}(T)\). When an equation is given in this form, it's pretty easy to find both intercepts (x and y). 1. \\ \end{aligned}\end{align} \nonumber \]. 3.Now multiply the resulting matrix in 2 with the vector x we want to transform. We often write the solution as \(x=1-y\) to demonstrate that \(y\) can be any real number, and \(x\) is determined once we pick a value for \(y\). Definition 5.1.3: finite-dimensional and Infinite-dimensional vector spaces. How do we recognize which variables are free and which are not? Therefore, \(x_3\) and \(x_4\) are independent variables. 3 Answers. This is a fact that we will not prove here, but it deserves to be stated. To see this, assume the contrary, namely that, \[ \mathbb{F}[z] = \Span(p_1(z),\ldots,p_k(z))\]. You can verify that \(T\) represents a linear transformation. The next example shows the same concept with regards to one-to-one transformations. It turns out that the matrix \(A\) of \(T\) can provide this information. Define \( \mathbb{F}_m[z] = \) set of all polynomials in \( \mathbb{F}[z] \) of degree at most m. Then \(\mathbb{F}_m[z]\subset \mathbb{F}[z]\) is a subspace since \(\mathbb{F}_m[z]\) contains the zero polynomial and is closed under addition and scalar multiplication. CLAPACK is the library which uder the hood uses very high-performance BLAS library, as do other libraries, like ATLAS. The following proposition is an important result. First, we will consider what Rn looks like in more detail. AboutTranscript. Consider the reduced row echelon form of the augmented matrix of a system of linear equations.\(^{1}\) If there is a leading 1 in the last column, the system has no solution. This is as far as we need to go. 2. We also acknowledge previous National Science Foundation support under grant numbers 1246120, 1525057, and 1413739. Thus, \(T\) is one to one if it never takes two different vectors to the same vector. \nonumber \]. The following examines what happens if both \(S\) and \(T\) are onto. Then \(T\) is called onto if whenever \(\vec{x}_2 \in \mathbb{R}^{m}\) there exists \(\vec{x}_1 \in \mathbb{R}^{n}\) such that \(T\left( \vec{x}_1\right) = \vec{x}_2.\). . \end{aligned}\end{align} \nonumber \], \[\begin{align}\begin{aligned} x_1 &= 15\\ x_2 &=1 \\ x_3 &= -8 \\ x_4 &= -5. Rather, we will give the initial matrix, then immediately give the reduced row echelon form of the matrix. To express where it is in 3 dimensions, you would need a minimum, basis, of 3 independently linear vectors, span (V1,V2,V3). Then the rank of \(T\) denoted as \(\mathrm{rank}\left( T\right)\) is defined as the dimension of \(\mathrm{im}\left( T\right) .\) The nullity of \(T\) is the dimension of \(\ker \left( T\right) .\) Thus the above theorem says that \(\mathrm{rank}\left( T\right) +\dim \left( \ker \left( T\right) \right) =\dim \left( V\right) .\). This leads to a homogeneous system of four equations in three variables. However, the second equation of our system says that \(2x+2y= 4\). The numbers \(x_{j}\) are called the components of \(\vec{x}\). We can essentially ignore the third row; it does not divulge any information about the solution.\(^{2}\) The first and second rows can be rewritten as the following equations: \[\begin{align}\begin{aligned} x_1 - x_2 + 2x_4 &=4 \\ x_3 - 3x_4 &= 7. In this case, we only have one equation, \[x_1+x_2=1 \nonumber \] or, equivalently, \[\begin{align}\begin{aligned} x_1 &=1-x_2\\ x_2&\text{ is free}. Consider now the general definition for a vector in \(\mathbb{R}^n\). The LibreTexts libraries arePowered by NICE CXone Expertand are supported by the Department of Education Open Textbook Pilot Project, the UC Davis Office of the Provost, the UC Davis Library, the California State University Affordable Learning Solutions Program, and Merlot. To find two particular solutions, we pick values for our free variables. That gives you linear independence. There is no solution to such a problem; this linear system has no solution. By convention, the degree of the zero polynomial \(p(z)=0\) is \(-\infty\). Consider Example \(\PageIndex{2}\). Returning to the original system, this says that if, \[\left [ \begin{array}{cc} 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 2\\ \end{array} \right ] \left [ \begin{array}{c} x\\ y \end{array} \right ] = \left [ \begin{array}{c} 0 \\ 0 \end{array} \right ]\nonumber \], then \[\left [ \begin{array}{c} x \\ y \end{array} \right ] = \left [ \begin{array}{c} 0 \\ 0 \end{array} \right ]\nonumber \]. Legal. To show that \(T\) is onto, let \(\left [ \begin{array}{c} x \\ y \end{array} \right ]\) be an arbitrary vector in \(\mathbb{R}^2\).
