Is there a linear algebra theorem or fact that says something like
For a linear transformation T:Rn -> Rm and its standard m x n matrix A:
(a) If the columns of A span Rn the transformation is onto.
(b) If the columns of A are linearly independent the transformation is one-to-one.

I'm a bit confused on something elementary.
If X is a Hilbert space and A is a subset of X and is uncountable. What exactly does it mean for an element x to be in the span of A? Does it mean x can be expressed as a finite linear combination of elements from A, or can it be infinite and even...
Okay, so I am doing this homework question, and its bothering me, so i thought perphaps somebody can help me out.
" Let P4 denote the vector space of all polynomials with degree less than or equal to 4 and real coefficients. Describe percisely as you can the linear span of set {x^2 – x^4...
I'm stuck on the following problem:
Describe the span of the vectors u1 and u2 in R^3, where
u1 = (1, 1, 1), u2 = (1, −1, 1)
I know that the span is a(u1)+b(u2), which becomes (a+b,a-b,a+b), but I don't know where to go from here.
TIA.
Question about "Span"
Given 3 vectors:
v1=(1,1,2)
v2=(1,0,1)
v3=(2,1,3)
To determine if they span R^3, I placed these 3 vectors in an augmented matrix. I found the determinant to be 0 which means that the 3 vectors do NOT span R^3. My question is, since v1,v2,v3 are linearly dependent...
i have come to the conclusion that the psychological present is not an instant. It is not a point in time.
Our brains work in a certain way that let's us see more than one instant at a time.
This can be proven. Take a pencil, and whip it back and forth. You will see multiple pencils. Why is...
