Dimension of subspace 10x10












0














Question:



Let $W$ be the subspace of a $M_{10,10}$ consisting of all matrices whose diagonal entries are zero. Find the dimension of $W$.



Not really sure how to approach this. Any suggestions?

Intuitively, the dimension of $M_{10,10}$ is $100$ because you need to specify all $100$ entries to determine a matrix uniquely. All the matrices in $W$ have zeros on the diagonal, so we need only specify the other $90$ non-diagonal entries. Therefore, the dimension is $90$.



I admit this argument is not completely rigorous but hopefully will give you the intuition needed to write a rigorous proof.

    Hint:



    Consider the linear map $;begin{aligned}[t]f:mathcal M_{10times 10}&longrightarrow K^{10}, \ (a_{ij})_{1le i,jle 10}&longmapsto(a_{ii})_{1le ile 10} end{aligned}$



    Observe that $f$ is onto and $W=ker f$.
