MAT350 4.13 MATLAB: Rank and Null Space
Enter the matrix, storing it in A.
A = [-2 4 2 -8 4; 3 -6 -1 10 -8; 1 -2 -5 8 1]
Use the rank() command to find the rank of the matrix A.
rank(A)
The command null(A,’r’) returns a basis of rational numbers for the null space of A.
The basis for the null space of A can be stored in a matrix.
nullspaceMatrixA = null(A,’r’)
For the matrix A, two vectors form the basis of the null space of A. Note, the dimension of the null space of A plus the rank of A will equal the number of columns in A.
Consider the matrix C for this activity.
-1 2 0 4 5 -3
3
Note: Full answer to this question is available after purchase.
-7 2 0 1 4
C = [ 2 -5 2 4 6 1 ]
4 -9 2 -4 -4 7
Enter the matrix, storing it in C.
C = [-1, 2, 0, 4, 5, -3; 3, -7, 2, 0, 1, 4; 2, -5, 2, 4, 6, 1; 4, -9, 2, -4, -4, 7]
Find the rank of the matrix C. Store this value in rankC.
rankC = rank(C)
disp(rankC)
Find a basis of rational numbers for the null space of C. Store this in the matrix nullbasis C.
nullbasisC = null(C, ‘r’)
disp(nullbasisC)
You should confirm that the dimension of the null space of C plus the rank of C equals the number of columns in C.
