Given the linear transformation T: R^3 → R^3 represented by the matrix [[1, 2, 3], [0, 1, 4], [0, 0, 0]], determine the kernel of this transformation.
💡 Hint: Set up the equation involving your transformation matrix and find when it results in the zero vector.
If a linear transformation has a rank of 2 and operates on a 4-dimensional space, what is the dimension of the kernel?
💡 Hint: Remember the rank-nullity theorem connects dimensions; you have the rank and domain.
