6. Basis of a column space

The matrix A=(120−1−2−345240−2)A = \left(\begin{array}{cccc} 1 & 2 & 0 & -1 \\ -2 & -3 & 4 & 5 \\ 2 & 4 & 0 & -2 \end{array}\right) reduces to R=(10−8−701430000)R = \left(\begin{array}{cccc} 1 & 0 & -8 & -7 \\ 0 & 1 & 4 & 3 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \end{array}\right). Which set is a basis of Col⁡(A)\operatorname{Col}(A)?

7. Vocabulary: size of every basis

Complete the sentence: every basis of a nonzero subspace VV contains the same number of vectors, and that number is called the ______ of VV. Enter one word.

8. Dimension of a span

Enter the dimension of V=Span⁡{(1,2,3), (2,4,6)}V = \operatorname{Span}\{(1,2,3),\,(2,4,6)\}. Enter a number.

9. Special solutions of a plane

The plane x−2y+3z=0x-2y+3z=0 is the null space of the one-row matrix (1−23)\left(\begin{array}{ccc} 1 & -2 & 3 \end{array}\right), whose free variables are yy and zz. Its two special solutions, with (y,z)=(1,0)(y,z)=(1,0) and (y,z)=(0,1)(y,z)=(0,1), form a basis of the plane. Enter the second special solution, the one with y=0y=0 and z=1z=1, as three numbers x,y,zx,y,z (for example 1,2,3).

10. The two requirements of a basis

A set of vectors B\mathcal{B} is called a basis of a subspace VV when it satisfies which pair of conditions?

11. Dimension of a plane through the origin

Let VV be the plane through the origin defined by x+y+z=0x + y + z = 0 in R3\mathbb{R}^3. Enter dim⁡V\dim V as a number.
