Find a basis of $ker f$ and $im f$ for linear map $f: mathbb R^{3} rightarrow mathbb R^{3}$












1












$begingroup$


My $f$ is: $f(x_{1},x_{2},x_{3})=(x_{1}+2x_{2}-x_{3},x_{1}+x_{2}+2x_{3},2x_{1}+3x_{2}+x_{3})$

1. Basis of $ker f$: $$f(x_{1},x_{2},x_{3})=(0,0,0)$$ So I have a matrix: $$begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & -1 \ 1 & 1 & 2 \ 2 & 3 & 1end{bmatrix}$$ Then I have $$x_{1}=-5x_{3}, x_{2}=3x_{3}, x_{3} in mathbb R$$ Finally basic of $ker f$ is $(-5,3,1)$

It is my solution but I'm not sure if this is the good job, so please rate.

2. Basis of $im f$: $$im f={(x_{1}+2x_{2}-x_{3},x_{1}+x_{2}+2x_{3},2x_{1}+3x_{2}+x_{3}): x_{1}, x_{2}, x_{3} in mathbb R }$$ So I have a matrix: $$begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 2 \ 2 & 1 & 3 \ -1 & 2 & 1end{bmatrix}$$ However I do not understand what can I do after elementary matrix because in books are only some steps and I do not know where the solution comes from.

    Per Doug M’s answer below, you don’t have to start over to find a basis for the image. It’s spanned by the columns of the matrix and after finding the kernel you know what its dimension must be.

You have the correct kernel.



You can should verify this by multiplying



$begin{bmatrix} 1&2&-1\1&1&2\2&3&1end{bmatrix}begin{bmatrix}-5\3\1end{bmatrix} = begin{bmatrix}0\0\0end{bmatrix}$



As for the image, since the degree of the Kernel is 1.



Choose 2 independent columns, any two will do. They will span the image.
