Final exam Flashcards
Statements equivalent to A is invertible
A^T is invertible, rows are linearly independent, rows span R^n, columns are linearly independent, columns span R^n, rows are equivalent to the identity matrix, A can be written as the product of elementary matrices, determinant can’t be 0, eigenvalue cant be 0, Ax=b only one solution, the null space is the zero vector
Subspace definition
A subset of R^n that satisfies two categories: of x,y are elements of U, then their sum is an element of U
Alpha(x) is an element of U
Column space
Span of the linearly independent columns of A
Defined by Ax
Row space
Span of linearly independent rows
A^Tx
Null space
Space where Ax=0
Col(AB) is in or equal to the col(A)
This works because taking a vector y in AB means that ABx=y, which you can say is Az=y for Bx=z, therefore y is also an element of col(A)
Row(AB) is in or equal to row(A)
Same idea, just use transposes
Rank theorem
Rank of matrix+ nullity= number of columns
Linear transformation definition
T(x+y)= T(x)+T(y) and T(ax)=aT(x)
Matrices and linear transformations
There’s always a matrix of transformation for linear trans such that T(x)=Ax
Coordinate vector
Coefficients of linear combo of vectors
Eigenvalues
There’s an eigenvalue for square matrix such that Ax=(lambda)x
Geometric multiplicity
Dimension of the eigenspace
Trace
Sum of the diagonal is a matrix
Eigenvalues with transposes
A and A^T have the same eigenvalues
Properties of determinants
If there’s a row/column of all 0s det=0, if triangular then det=product of diagonal entries, if has 2 rows/columns the same det=0, if one row/column multiple of another det=0, if a is scalar det(aA)=a^ndet(A)
Determinants of elementary matrices
Swap row: -1
Multiple of row: scalar
Addition of rows: 1
Algebraic multiplicity
Number of times factor shows up in characteristic polynomial
If you have distinct eigenvalues w/corresponding eigenvectors…
They are linearly independent
