Math Problem Statement

LetA=[−1−1541−514−43−544−55].Give a non-zero vector x→ in the null space of A.

x→= [].

Solution

We are tasked with finding a non-zero vector x such that it lies in the null space of matrix A. This means that:

Ax=0A \cdot x = 0

Where A is:

A=[1154151443545455]A = \begin{bmatrix} -1 & -1 & 5 & 4 \\ 1 & -5 & 1 & 4 \\ -4 & 3 & -5 & 4 \\ -5 & 4 & -5 & 5 \end{bmatrix}

And x is the vector we need to determine.

Step-by-step approach:

  1. We need to solve for x by setting up the equation Ax=0A \cdot x = 0.
  2. Multiply the matrix A by the unknown vector x=[x1x2x3x4]x = \begin{bmatrix} x_1 \\ x_2 \\ x_3 \\ x_4 \end{bmatrix} to get a system of linear equations.
  3. Solve the system of linear equations to find a non-zero solution.
