Transcribed Image Text:### True/False Question:
(iii) **T** **F** \_\_\_. If \( A \) is an \( m \times n \) matrix, then \( \text{ker}(A) = \text{ker}(A^T A) \).
**Explanation:**
This question provides a statement about the relationship between a matrix \( A \) and its transpose multiplied by itself, specifically focusing on their kernels (null spaces). The question asks if the kernel (null space) of \( A \) is equal to the kernel of \( A^T A \), where \( A^T \) represents the transpose of the matrix \( A \).
### Understanding Kernels:
- **Kernel of \( A \):** The set of all vectors \( \mathbf{x} \) such that \( A \mathbf{x} = \mathbf{0} \).
- **Kernel of \( A^T A \):** The set of all vectors \( \mathbf{x} \) such that \( A^T A \mathbf{x} = \mathbf{0} \).
The answer to the question depends on your understanding of linear algebra, specifically the properties of matrices and their kernels.
