Okay, so we have some subspaces and we want to find some sets which span the spaces.
00:06
So the first subspace is this subspace of the set of 2 by 2 matrices.
00:11
So the set of 2 by 2 matrices with these conditions, a plus c equals 0 and 2b minus 4d equals 0.
00:17
So in general, if we write down a, b, c, d, a matrix of this form, well, we can look at these two equations and replace some of these variables.
00:27
So this first equation a plus c equals 0, we could rewrite this, for example, as c equals minus a.
00:35
And then our variable here is a, and then our variable c is minus a because of this condition.
00:42
Here, this equation 2b minus 4d equals 0.
00:46
We could, for example, rewrite this 2b equals 4d.
00:51
If we divide both sides by 2, we get b equals 2d...
