Which of the following is a vector?

  1. A set of numbers

  2. A function

  3. A matrix

  4. A line in space

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A vector is a geometric object that has both magnitude and direction. It is often represented as a directed line segment in space.

What is the dimension of a vector?

  1. The number of elements in the vector

  2. The number of rows in the vector

  3. The number of columns in the vector

  4. The number of components in the vector

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The dimension of a vector is the number of components it has. For example, a vector in two-dimensional space has two components, while a vector in three-dimensional space has three components.

What is a matrix?

  1. A rectangular array of numbers

  2. A set of vectors

  3. A linear transformation

  4. A vector space

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A matrix is a rectangular array of numbers. It can be used to represent a system of linear equations, a transformation, or a vector space.

What is the determinant of a matrix?

  1. The sum of the elements in the matrix

  2. The product of the elements in the matrix

  3. The difference of the elements in the matrix

  4. A number that is associated with a square matrix

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The determinant of a matrix is a number that is associated with a square matrix. It is used to determine whether the matrix is invertible or not.

What is a system of linear equations?

  1. A set of equations that involve linear functions

  2. A set of equations that involve quadratic functions

  3. A set of equations that involve exponential functions

  4. A set of equations that involve logarithmic functions

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A system of linear equations is a set of equations that involve linear functions. It can be represented as a matrix equation.

What is the solution to a system of linear equations?

  1. A set of values for the variables that make all of the equations true

  2. A set of values for the variables that make some of the equations true

  3. A set of values for the variables that make none of the equations true

  4. A set of values for the variables that make the system inconsistent

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The solution to a system of linear equations is a set of values for the variables that make all of the equations true.

What is a vector space?

  1. A set of vectors that are closed under addition and scalar multiplication

  2. A set of vectors that are closed under addition

  3. A set of vectors that are closed under scalar multiplication

  4. A set of vectors that are closed under both addition and scalar multiplication

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A vector space is a set of vectors that are closed under both addition and scalar multiplication. This means that the sum of any two vectors in the vector space is also in the vector space, and the product of any vector in the vector space by a scalar is also in the vector space.

What is the dimension of a vector space?

  1. The number of elements in the vector space

  2. The number of rows in the vector space

  3. The number of columns in the vector space

  4. The number of components in the vectors in the vector space

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The dimension of a vector space is the number of components in the vectors in the vector space. For example, a vector space of two-dimensional vectors has dimension two, while a vector space of three-dimensional vectors has dimension three.

What is a linear transformation?

  1. A function that maps vectors to vectors

  2. A function that maps vectors to matrices

  3. A function that maps matrices to vectors

  4. A function that maps matrices to matrices

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A linear transformation is a function that maps vectors to vectors. It is a linear function, which means that it preserves the operations of addition and scalar multiplication.

What is the kernel of a linear transformation?

  1. The set of vectors that are mapped to the zero vector

  2. The set of vectors that are mapped to a non-zero vector

  3. The set of vectors that are mapped to themselves

  4. The set of vectors that are mapped to a vector that is not a multiple of themselves

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The kernel of a linear transformation is the set of vectors that are mapped to the zero vector.

What is the range of a linear transformation?

  1. The set of vectors that are mapped to the zero vector

  2. The set of vectors that are mapped to a non-zero vector

  3. The set of vectors that are mapped to themselves

  4. The set of vectors that are mapped to a vector that is not a multiple of themselves

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The range of a linear transformation is the set of vectors that are mapped to a non-zero vector.

What is the null space of a linear transformation?

  1. The set of vectors that are mapped to the zero vector

  2. The set of vectors that are mapped to a non-zero vector

  3. The set of vectors that are mapped to themselves

  4. The set of vectors that are mapped to a vector that is not a multiple of themselves

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The null space of a linear transformation is the set of vectors that are mapped to the zero vector.

What is the column space of a linear transformation?

  1. The set of vectors that are mapped to the zero vector

  2. The set of vectors that are mapped to a non-zero vector

  3. The set of vectors that are mapped to themselves

  4. The set of vectors that are mapped to a vector that is not a multiple of themselves

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The column space of a linear transformation is the set of vectors that are mapped to a non-zero vector.

What is the rank of a linear transformation?

  1. The dimension of the kernel of the linear transformation

  2. The dimension of the range of the linear transformation

  3. The dimension of the null space of the linear transformation

  4. The dimension of the column space of the linear transformation

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The rank of a linear transformation is the dimension of the range of the linear transformation.
