[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: calculating 2 constants in a function

One of our user asked: $$M=\{f\in C[0,2\pi],\int_{0}^{2\pi}f(x)sinxdx=\pi,\int_{0}^{2\pi}f(x)sin2xdx=2\pi\} $$ $a,b\in \mathbb R, g\in M, g(x)=asinx+bsin2x,x\in [0,2\pi]$ I've read on the answers that $a=1,b=2$ and I don't know how to calculate them. Can somebody explain me,please? By the way, the problem is to determine $ \int_{0}^{2\pi}(g(x))^2 dx$ so you have to first get the constants $a$ and $b$ .

Calculus: A difficulty in understanding a step in a solution.

Here is the solution: But I could not understand how the last term in the fourth line came from the line before it, could anyone explain this for me please?
