Understanding Null Space and Basis Vectors

The video tutorial explains how to find the basis for the null space of a matrix by solving the equation A * x = 0. It involves setting up the equation, performing row reduction, identifying free variables, and parameterizing the solution. The basis vectors are determined, and the values of i and j are found by matching the vectors to the given form.

What is the null space of a matrix?

• The set of all solutions to the equation Ax = 0

• The set of all non-zero vectors

• The set of all solutions to the equation Ax = b

• The set of all vectors orthogonal to the matrix
