[Community Question] Linear-algebra: Find linear operator for given kernel and image

One of our user asked:

FInd linear map $A: \Bbb{R^3} \rightarrow \Bbb{R^3}$ for given kernel and image. $$Ker(A)=L(\begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 0 \\ 0 \\ \end{pmatrix}, \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 1 \\ 1 \\ \end{pmatrix})\space ; \space Im(A)=L(\begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 0 \\ 1 \\ \end{pmatrix}) \\$$ I've been reading some explonations about this kind of a problem but I didn't understand anything about expanding kernel base to the dimmension of $\Bbb{R^3}$. But, according to this solution example , if I form matrix $A$ like $$\begin{bmatrix} 1 & a&b \\ 0 &c&d\\ 1 &e&f \\ \end{bmatrix} \cdot \begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 0 \\ 0 \\ \end{bmatrix}= \begin{bmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 0 \\ \end{bmatrix} \\$$ and $$ \begin{bmatrix} 1 & a&b \\ 0 &c&d\\ 1 &e&f \\ \end{bmatrix} \cdot \begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 1 \\ 1 \\ \end{bmatrix}= \begin{bmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 0 \\ \end{bmatrix} \\ $$ I don't get anything here for first equation, and for second I get $$\begin{bmatrix} 1+a+d \\ b+e\\ 1+c+f \\ \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 0 \\ \end{bmatrix}\\$$ In this case I can't get a matrix of linear transformation like they did in linked example above. If someone can help me with this, but with theese concrete vectors, or to correct this way of solving..

[Community Question] Calculus: Manifold with boundary - finding the boundary

One of our user asked: I have the manifold with boundary $M:= \lbrace (x_1,x_2,x_3) \in \mathbb R^3 : x_1\geq 0, x_1^2+x_2^2+x_3^2=1\rbrace \cup\lbrace (x_1,x_2,x_3) \in \mathbb R^3 : x_1= 0, x_1^2+x_2^2+x_3^2\leq1\rbrace$ and I need to find the boundary of this manifold. I think it is $\lbrace (x_1,x_2,x_3) \in \mathbb R^n : x_1= 0, x_2^2+x_3^2=1\rbrace$ , the other option is that the boundary is the empty set? I think the first is right? Am I wrong?

[Community Question] Linear-algebra: Are linear transformations between infinite dimensional vector spaces always differentiable?

One of our user asked: In class we saw that every linear transformation is differentiable (since there's always a linear approximation for them) and we also saw that a differentiable function must be continuous, so it must be true that all linear operators are continuous, however, I just read that between infinite dimensional vector spaces this is not necessarily true. I would like to know where's the flaw in my reasoning (I suspect that linear transformations between infinite dimensional vector spaces are not always differentiable).

Order of elements of the Prüfer groups $\mathbb{Z}(p^{\infty})$

Let $\mathbb{Z}(p^{\infty})$ be defined by $\mathbb{Z}(p^{\infty}) = \{ \overline{a/b} \in \mathbb{Q}/ \mathbb{Z} / a,b \in \mathbb{Z}, b=p^i$ $ with$ $ i \in \mathbb{N} \}$ , I wish show that any element in $\mathbb{Z}(p^{\infty})$ has order $p^n$ with $n \in \mathbb{N}$ . i try several ways but I have not been successful, some help ?? thank you
