kernel?

Post by hadimotamedi » Tue Jan 04, 2011 5:57 am

Dear All
Can you please show me how the following lemma can be used to solve GRE math questions?
- dim E = dim f(E) + dim (E ∩ ker(f))

For example, the theorem tells you that the system of equations

x + y + z = 1
2x - y + 3 z = 4
x - 2y + 2z = 3

has a one-parameter family of solutions while the system

x + y + z = 1
2x - y + 3 z = 4
x - 3y + 2z = 3

has a unique solution.
