Avg difficulty 2.5

Suppose that the matrix AA has the singular value decomposition [−0.460.520.460.55−0.820.00−0.14−0.55−0.040.44−0.850.28−0.34−0.73−0.180.55][6.20.00.00.04.10.00.00.00.00.00.00.0][−0.740.62−0.240.280.620.73−0.61−0.480.64].\begin{bmatrix} -0.46 & 0.52 & 0.46 & 0.55 \\ -0.82 & 0.00 & -0.14 & -0.55 \\ -0.04 & 0.44 & -0.85 & 0.28 \\ -0.34 & -0.73 & -0.18 & 0.55 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 6.2 & 0.0 & 0.0 \\ 0.0 & 4.1 & 0.0 \\ 0.0 & 0.0 & 0.0 \\ 0.0 & 0.0 & 0.0 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} -0.74 & 0.62 & -0.24 \\ 0.28 & 0.62 & 0.73 \\ -0.61 & -0.48 & 0.64 \end{bmatrix}.

  1. What are the dimensions of AA?

  2. What is rank⁡(A)\rank(A)?

  3. Find orthonormal bases for Col(A)\col(A), Nul(A)\nul(A), Col(AT)\col(A^T), and Nul(AT)\nul(A^T).

  4. Find the orthogonal projection of b=[102−1]\bvec=\fourvec102{-1} onto Col(A)\col(A).
