Null Space Calculator

Calculate the null space (kernel) of a matrix, find basis vectors, rank, and nullity.

Matrix Input

Matrix A

Rank

2

Nullity

1

Null Space Basis

v1 = (1.0000, -2.0000, 1.0000)

Dimension Theorem

rank(A) + nullity(A) = 2 + 1 = 3 = 3 (number of columns)

Pivot Columns: 1, 2

Free Variables: columns 3

RREF of A

1.000.00-1.00
0.001.002.00

Verification (A × v = 0)

A × v1 = (0.0000, 0.0000)

About Null Space

Definition

The null space (kernel) of A is the set of all vectors x such that Ax = 0.

Rank-Nullity Theorem

rank(A) + nullity(A) = number of columns of A
