Question 1.
Determine the rank of the following matrix: [1 2; 2 4].
Show hintHide hint
Look for redundancy between the rows.
Question 2.
List conditions when a set of vectors is considered linearly independent.
Show hintHide hint
Think about linear combinations and the zero vector.
3Question 3.
If a matrix has a rank equal to its number of columns, what can we say about its column vectors?
- They are linearly dependent
- They are linearly independent
- They are not related
Show hintHide hint
Recall the definition of rank.
4Question 4.
True or False: A set containing the zero vector can still be linearly independent.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider the implications of the zero vector in linear combinations.
Question 5.
Consider a matrix A with vectors [(1, 2), (2, 4), (3, 6), (4, 8)]. What is its rank and what does this imply about the vectors?
Show hintHide hint
Check if any vector can be produced as a linear combination of the others.
Question 6.
If a system of equations is determined by vectors in R^6, can any matrix formed from them have a rank greater than 6? Justify your answer.
Show hintHide hint
Review the relationship between the rank of a matrix and its dimensional properties.
