Step 1
1 of 2

Matrix AA is already in echelon form so we can conclude that dimension of Col AA is 3 as can be seen by the pivot columns.

The matrix is of size 4×64 \times 6. Using

dim (Nul A)+dim (Col A)=Number of Columns in A\text{dim (Nul }A) + \text{dim (Col }A) = \text{Number of Columns in }A

we get:

dim (Nul A)+3=6dim (Nul A)=3\text{dim (Nul }A) + 3 = 6 \Rightarrow \text{dim (Nul }A) = 3
