Which MATLAB command correctly computes the null space of a matrix A?
Arank(A)
Bdet(A)
Cnull(A)
Dinv(A)
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Recall MATLAB functions for matrix properties

    null(A) returns the null space vectors of matrix A.
  2. Step 2: Identify incorrect options

    rank(A) gives rank, det(A) gives determinant, inv(A) gives inverse if it exists.
  3. Final Answer:

    null(A) -> Option C
  4. Quick Check:

    null space = null(A) [OK]
Quick Trick: Use null(A) to find null space vectors [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Using rank(A) instead of null(A)
  • Confusing determinant with null space
  • Trying to invert a non-square matrix
