Homework Statement



Can anyone help me figure out basis for RS(A) and basis for CS (A) along with their dimension?
I mean dim CS(A) and dim RS(A)

where A is
[1 -2 4 1]
[0 7 -15 -4]
[0 0 0 0]

are all non zero rows the basis for RS (A)?

You tell me? To be a basis, you need three things:
1. Each of the nonzero rows are elements of RS(A)
2. The nonzero rows span RS(A)
3. The nonzero rows are linearly independent.
(Right? This should be familiar...)

Are all of these conditions satisfied?
 
yeah, right. so the dimension of the RS(A) is the number of elements of it, correct?
 
What does "RS" mean?
 
row space
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
