I have a question in my linear algebra text that asks:
Give integers p and q such that Nul A is a subspace of Rp and Col A is a subspace of Rq.
What determines these values? Why are the values of p and q different between the Nul space and Col space? The matrix in question is a 3 x 4 matrix and the value for Col A was 3 and Nul A was 4.
3 2 1 -5
-9 -4 1 7
9 2 -5 1
Why are they different? I would have thought the dimension was just the number of entires in each column. How can Nul space be 4 dimensions when there are only 3 entries in the column vectors?
