What dimension is the image ?
Looking at it it seems the rank of the matrice is 2?
If so using the rank theorem you have the dimension of the kernel
Oh okay well f here is clearly a projector
Np
I think a certain type of projector works here
Think of one
Orthogonal?
Yes
Orthogonal projection onto ker(g) seems to work
You have $im(f)=ker(g)$ and $ker(f)=ker(g)^{\perp}$
Rotor ๐
So what does this mean?
Well if f is an orthogonal projection onto ker(g) you have f^2=f and im(f)=ker(g)
And it maps all elements of im(g) to ker(g) ( it canโt be an isomorphic map considering the dimension on V is uneven)
In theory any projector onto ker(g), orthogonal or not works but considering we are working in a Euclidean space why not take the orthogonal projector
You also know what the projector is in the orthogonal case
If $v$ is a vector spanning $ker(g)$ then $x \to \frac{\langle x|v \rangle}{||v||^{2}} v$
Rotor ๐
is the orthogonal projection considering the dimension of ker(g) is 1
(Im assuming so I havenโt checked)
Wait lemma think
Sorry I was afk
But I think itโs false sorry to say $im(g) \neq ker(g)^{\perp}$
Rotor ๐
Take $v=(18,-15,9)^{T}$
Rotor ๐
Well $v \in ker(g)$ but $\langle v | (12,9,0)^{T} \rangle \neq 0$
Rotor ๐
But using the rank theorem you know that $ker(g)$ is if dimension 1 thus $ker(g)=Span(v)$
Rotor ๐
You have an equation of the plane $ker(g)^{\perp}$ from $v$ though
Rotor ๐
Which you can use to find a basis of $ker(g)^{\perp}$ then orthonormalise it using gram shmidt
Rotor ๐
What is this?
Itโs ker(g) mb
I mistyped
Oh wait Iโm sorry I misunderstood
Basically if u=(x,y,z) is a vector of $ker(g)^{\perp}$ you have that $\langle v|u \rangle=0$ from this you have a Cartesian equation of the plane
Rotor ๐
from which you can deduce a basis of $ker(g)^{\perp}$
Rotor ๐
Seems correct but in the matrice itโs a -5/3 on the last column
If you represent an orthogonal projection in the canonical basis in a matrice then itโs a symmetric matrice
Or any orthonormal basis for that matter, an orthogonal projection is self adjoint
Also if you want to quickly get a basis of the orthogonal of the kernel Iโd recommend considering $I_3-F$
Rotor ๐
Which is the matrice of the orthogonal projector onto the orthogonal of the kernel
