Solution
To find a basis for the null space of matrix A, we need to find the vectors that satisfy the equation Ax = 0, where x is a vector of unknowns.
First, let's write out the augmented matrix [A|0]:
[1 3 2 | 0] [6 -1 -3 | 0] [-2 3 9 | 0] [6 0 -3 | 0]
Next, we perform row operations to bring the matrix to row-echelon form:
R2 = R2 - 6R1 R3 = R3 + 2R1 R4 = R4 - 6R1
[1 3 2 | 0] [0 -19 -15 | 0] [0 9 13 | 0] [0 -18 -15 | 0]
R3 = R3 + (9/19)R2 R4 = R4 + (18/19)R2
[1 3 2 | 0] [0 -19 -15 | 0] [0 0 -2 | 0] [0 0 0 | 0]
Now, we can write the system of equations corresponding to the row-echelon form:
x1 + 3x2 + 2x3 = 0 -19x2 - 15x3 = 0 -2x3 = 0
From the last equation, we can see that x3 must be 0. Substituting this into the second equation, we get -19x2 = 0, which means x2 must also be 0. Finally, substituting x2 = 0 and x3 = 0 into the first equation, we get x1 = 0.
Therefore, the null space of matrix A is spanned by the vector [0 0 0]. In other words, the basis for the null space is the zero vector.
