First of all, on monday I posted a similar post, but part of my exercise wasn't completed so I'm posting the completed version now. My problem with the exercise is that it generates 2 null rows. I asked my teacher and she finally responded, now my classes are in spanish so I had to translate what she told me,

"You can simplify both rows, simplifying them with another row reduction, that is to say, both null rows are proposed as a new matriz( the wording here is nuevo escalonamiento, which translated directly would be new row reduction, this is the only part im not sure I translated properly) to be solved by row operations to reduce it, and the last row is simplified. The simplified row is then used to solve for IMT(image)."

From what I understood, I took the values obtained from my null rows, R3= a/3-b/3+c and R4=-a/3-4/3b+d. And made both into a new matrix. The problem is that I get a unique solution, which would mean my range would be 4 (Its a linear transformation from R3 to R4) and if I add both dimensions, NT+IMT=1+4=5, which is wrong, since I should get 3. Unless I misunderstood, I believe thats how I should solve it. I'm also thinking that the values I obtain from reducing R4 are the ones I should use for finding the image, in which case my range would be 2, which added with NT, should give me 3.
