[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] Linear-algebra: non-negative matrix satisfying two conditions

One of our user asked: A real matrix $B$ is called non-negative if every entry is non-negative. We will denote this by $B\ge 0$ . I want to find a non-negative matrix $B$ satisfying the following two conditions: (1) $(I-B)^{-1}$ exists but not non-negative. Here $I$ is the identity matrix. (2) There is a non-zero and non-negative vector $\vec{d}$ such that $(I-B)^{-1}\vec{d}\ge 0$ . I tried all the $2\times 2$ matrices, but it did not work. I conjecture that such a $B$ does not exist, but don't know how to prove it.

[Community Question] Geometry: The limit about the line connecting the intersection of a circle and the $y$-axis and the intersection of the shrinking circle and a fixed circle

One of our user asked: There is a fixed circle $C_1$ with equation $(x - 1)^2 + y^2 = 1$ and a shrinking circle $C_2$ with radius $r$ and center the origin. $P$ is the point $(0, r)$ , $Q$ is the upper point of intersection of the two circles, and $R$ is the point of intersection of the line $PQ$ and the $x$ -axis. What happens to $R$ as $C_2$ shrinks, that is, as $r \to 0^+$ ? (The figure is made with GeoGebra ) In order to solve this problem, I made a script using GeoGebra in which the circle $C_2$ is a dynamic one whose radius $r$ can be adjusted with a slider. As I set $r \to 0^+$ , the figure seems to suggest that $R \to (4,0)$ . In particular, this is the state with $r = 0.001$ , in which $R$ is reported to be $(3.9999997523053,0)$ : However, I would like to find out a way to prove (or disprove, though unlikely) my guess that $$\lim_{r \to 0} R = (4,0).$$ But I have little idea. Any help would be appreciated.

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
