Vector Spaces

In the realm of linear algebra, one will find the pivotal concept of vector spaces, also referred to as linear spaces. These mathematical constructs blend vectors via two specific operations: addition and scalar multiplication. Essential characteristics of vector spaces encompass closure, associativity, commutativity, distributivity, the presence of an additive identity and inverses, and the harmonious interaction of scalar multiplication with field multiplication.

Rewrite the System as a Vector Equality

Given the system of equations: \n 1. \(2x - y + 3z = 7\)\n 2. \(x + 2y - z = 6\)\n 3. \(3x - y + 2z = 10\)\n Rewrite the system as a vector equality.

Finding the Rank

Find the rank of the matrix \[ A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 3 \ 4 & 5 & 6 \ 7 & 8 & 9 \end{bmatrix} \]

Finding the Nullity

Given the matrix \( A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & -1\ 2 & 4 & -2\ -1 & -2 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \), find the nullity of \( A \).
