Step 5
Use the result matrix to declare the final solutions to the system of equations.
Step 6
This expression is the solution set for the system of equations.
Step 7
Decompose a solution vector by re-arranging each equation represented in the row-reduced form of the augmented matrix by solving for the dependent variable in each row yields the vector equality.
Step 8
The null space of the set is the set of vectors created from the free variables of the system.
Step 9
The kernel of is the subspace .
