Work Step by Step

Given: $A=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -2 & 1\\4 & - 7 & -2\\ -1 & 3 & 4 \end{bmatrix}$ Obtain: $\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -2 & 1\\4 & - 7 & -2\\ -1 & 3 & 4 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} x_1\\x_2\\x_3 \end{bmatrix}=0$ We have the system: $x−2x_2+x_3=0\\4x_1−7x_2−2x_3=0\\−x_1+3x_2+4x_3=0$ From exercise 27, we have $x_1=x_2=x_3=0$ Then $N(A)=(0,0,0)$ Hence, $N(A)=span (0,0,0)$
