In mathematics, the kernel of a linear map, also known as the null space or nullspace, is the linear subspace of the domain of the map which is mapped to the zero vector. That is, given a linear map L : V → W between two vector spaces V and W, the kernel of L is the vector space of all elements v of V such that L(v) = 0, where 0 denotes the zero vector in W, or more symbolically:

Homework Statement
Given a linear operator T, show that if rank(T^2)=rank(T), then the range and null space are disjoint.
So I know that I can form a the same basis for range(T^2) and range(T), but I'm not sure where to go from there.

I am just wondering what is meant when someone says the Col A is a subspace of null Space of A. What can you infer from that?
Also what is a null space of A(transpose)A
How do they relate to A? Are there theorems about this that I can look up?
got a question show that the null space of T is a vector space of U given the mapping T:U->V
i know that null space or kernal of T is kerT={uEU: T(u)=0} and is a subset of U but don't have a clue where to start applying this to my question?

If V is any vector space and S and T are linear operators on V such that ST=TS show that the null space and the range of T are invariant under S.
I think I need to begin by taking an element of the range of T and having S act on it and show that it stays in V? Can you help get me started?

I honestly don't know how to work this at all. I think I'm confused as to what Null Space actually is, so that's making this a difficult problem to understand. please help.
I need to find the null space of:

Hihi
I've been working on this problem for some time: if A is a (m x n) matrix, and A' denotes its transpose, then the null space of A is equal to the null space of A'A. Is this always true? I thought of a proof for the special case where A is given in reduced row echelon form, but fail to...

The question is:
For each of the following subspaces, find the dimension and a basis:
{(x,y,z) are elements of R^3: 7x - 3y + z = 0}
I had actually posted about this before, but I'm confused as to what the Null space is here.
So, z = -7x + 3y, so there is one dependent variable and two...

How can I determine the null space for the 2 x 6 zero matrix as precisely as I can?

So if A is this 2x6 matrix, wouldn't virtually any vector x that is in R^6 work?
This is supposed to be a "conceptual" problem, and I KNOW it can't be this easy for...
