Answer

See belowGiven: $A=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 3 & -2 & 1\\3 & 10 & -4 & 6\\ 2 & 5 & -6 & -1 \end{bmatrix}$ Obtain: $\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 3 & -2 & 1\\3 & 10 & -4 & 6\\ 2 & 5 & -6 & -1 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} x_1\\x_2\\x_3\\ x_4 \end{bmatrix}=0$ We have the system: $x_1+3x_2−2x_3+x_4=0\\3x_1+10x_2−4x_3+6x_4=0\\2x_1+5x_2−6x_3−1x_4=0$ From exercise 27, we have $x_1=8x_3+8x_4\\x_2=-2x_3-3x_4$ and $ x_1=(8x_3+8x_4,−2x_4−3x_4,x_3,x_4)\\=(8x_3,−2x_3,x_3,0)+(8x_4,−3x_4,0,x_4)\\=x_3(8,−2,1,0)+x_4(8,−3,0,1)$ Then $N(A)=((8,−2,1,0),(8,−3,0,1))$ Hence, $N(A)=span (8,−2,1,0),(8,−3,0,1)$

Work Step by Step

Given: $A=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & i & -2 \\3 & 4i & -5\\ -1 & -3i & i \end{bmatrix}$ From exercise 29, we have $N(A)=(0,0,0)$ Hence, $N(A)=span (0,0,0)$
