In other words, taking the cube root undoes the transformation that takes a number to its cube.

Define <m>f\colon\R\to\R</m> by <m>f(x) = x^2</m>. This is <em>not</em> an invertible function.

The rank theorem theorem is really the culmination of this chapter, as it gives a strong relationship between the null space of a matrix (the solution set of <m>Ax=0</m>) with the column space (the set of vectors <m>b</m> making <m>Ax=b</m> consistent), our two primary objects of interest. The more freedom we have in choosing <m>x</m> the less freedom we have in choosing <m>b</m> and vice versa.
