The linear transformations \(\mathrm{T}_{1}: \mathbb{R}^{4} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{4}\) and \(\mathrm{T}_{2}: \mathbb{R}^{4} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{4}\) are represented by the matrices \(\mathbf{M}_{1}\) and \(\mathbf{M}_{2}\) respectively, where
\(\mathbf{M}_{1}=\left(\begin{array}{rrrr} 1 & -2 & 3 & 5 \\ 3 & -4 & 17 & 33 \\ 5 & -9 & 20 & 36 \\ 4 & -7 & 16 & 29 \end{array}\right) \quad \text { and } \quad \mathbf{M}_{2}=\left(\begin{array}{rrrr} 1 & -2 & 0 & -3 \\ 2 & -1 & 0 & 0 \\ 4 & -7 & 1 & -9 \\ 6 & -10 & 0 & -14 \end{array}\right) .\)
The null spaces of \(\mathrm{T}_{1}\) and \(\mathrm{T}_{2}\) are denoted by \(K_{1}\) and \(K_{2}\) respectively. Find a basis for \(K_{1}\) and a basis for \(K_{2}\).
It is given that \(\mathbf{a}=\left(\begin{array}{l}1 \\ 2 \\ 3 \\ 4\end{array}\right)\). The vectors \(\mathbf{x}_{1}\) and \(\mathbf{x}_{2}\) are such that \(\mathbf{M}_{1} \mathbf{x}_{1}=\mathbf{M}_{1} \mathbf{a}\) and \(\mathbf{M}_{2} \mathbf{x}_{2}=\mathbf{M}_{2} \mathbf{a}\). Given that \(\mathbf{x}_{1}-\mathbf{x}_{2}=\left(\begin{array}{c}p \\ 5 \\ 7 \\ q\end{array}\right)\), find \(p\) and \(q\).
