Homework Statement
I am trying to find the matrix M that projects a vector b into the left nullspace of A, aka the nullspace of A transpose.
Homework Equations
A = matrix
A ^ T = A transpose
A ^ -1 = inverse of A
e = b - A x (hat)
e = b-p
I know that the matrix P that projects the vector b into the collumn space of A is P = A(A ^T*A)^-1 A^T. Col space is orthogonal to the left nullspace
The Attempt at a Solution
Since Col space is orth to left null, I was thinking of just find a matrix that, when doted with P is equal to zero (the definition of orthogonality); but that's what they want us to do in part b
Also, since we can get the left nullspace from the column space, i was thinking we could just apply that to P in order to get M (as in find the left null space of P) but the problem is that A is not given
Third idea; the error e used in finding P is in the left nullspace. so if i could somehow make it only have a component in the left nullspace, none in the column space, i could somehow find P.
So i have plenty of ideas, but no idea how to implement them. any help would be GREATLY appreciated, as this pset is due in 3 hours!
