There are, in general, an infinite number of linear transformations having a given null space". Given that the null space is spanned by $\begin{pmatrix}4 \\ 1 \\ -4 \\ 5\end{pmatrix}$, $\begin{pmatrix}-2 \\ -1 \\ 0 \\ -2\end{pmatrix}$, and $\begin{pmatrix}-3 \\ 5 \\ 4 \\ 1\end{pmatrix}$, and that A can be represented by a 4 by 4 matrix, $\begin{pmatrix}a & b & c & d \\ e & f & g & h \\ i & j & k & l \\ m & n & p & q \end{pmatrix}$, we must have $\begin{pmatrix}a & b & c & d \\ e & f & g & h \\ i & j & k & l \\ m & n & p & q \end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix}4 \\ 1 \\ -4 \\ 5\end{pmatrix}= \begin{pmatrix}4a+ b- 4c+ 5d \\ 4e+ f- 4g+ 5h \\ 4i+ j- 4k+ 5l \\ 4m+ n- 4p+ 5q\end{pmatrix}= \begin{pmatrix}0 \\ 0 \\ 0 \\ 0 \end{pmatrix}$. $\begin{pmatrix}a & b & c & d \\ e & f & g & h \\ i & j & k & l \\ m & n & p & q \end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix}-2 \\ 1 \\ 0 \\ -2\end{pmatrix}= \begin{pmatrix}-2a+ b- 2d \\ -2e+ f- 2h \\ -2i+ j- 2l\\ -2m+ n- 2q\end{pmatrix}= \begin{pmatrix}0 \\ 0 \\ 0 \\ 0 \end{pmatrix}$. and $\begin{pmatrix}a & b & c & d \\ e & f & g & h \\ i & j & k & l \\ m & n & p & q \end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix}-3 \\ 5 \\ 4 \\ 1\end{pmatrix}= \begin{pmatrix}-3a+ 5b+ 4c+ d \\ -3e+ 5f+ 4g+ h \\ -3i+ 5j+ 4k+ 1l\\ -3m+ 5+ 4p+ q\end{pmatrix}= \begin{pmatrix}0 \\ 0 \\ 0 \\ 0 \end{pmatrix}$. 12 equations to solve for 16 unknowns.

We can reduce the number of the unknowns in Country Boy's methode by remarking that $\displaystyle \text{rank}(A)=4-\dim N(A)=4-3=1.$Thus the matrix $\displaystyle A$ can be written as : $\displaystyle A=\begin{pmatrix}a&b&c&d\\a&b&c&d\\a&b&c&d\\a&b&c& d \end{pmatrix}.$ We will get 3 equations and 4 unknowns. Thanks from zylo

EDIT: A = [a,b,c,1], Au$\displaystyle _{1}$=0, Au$\displaystyle _{2}$=0, Au$\displaystyle _{3}$=0

EDIT: Damn. A has to be a 4x4 matrix. Ould Youbba was right, though 0's in last three rows might be simpler. Sorry

EDIT: If I wanted to find A st Ax=0 would give u$\displaystyle _{1}$, u$\displaystyle _{2}$ and u$\displaystyle _{3}$, then that's country boy's solution. If I wanted to find A whose null space is U, (OP), then that's ould youbba's solution. If I wanted to solve A=[a,b,c,1] given for Ax=0, I would get ax1 + bx2 +cx3 + x4 = 0. x1, x2, x3 arbitrary and x4 =..., which is a 3d null space. Last edited by zylo; January 10th, 2018 at 10:58 AM.
