Get started for freeLet \(A\) be an \(m \times n\) matrix of rank \(r > 0\) and let \(U\) be an echelon form of \(A\). Explain why there exists an invertible matrix \(E\) such that \(A = EU\), and use this factorization to write \(A\) as the sum of \(r\) rank 1 matrices. [Hint: See Theorem 10 in Section 2.4.]
Question: Exercises 12-17 develop properties of rank that are sometimes needed in applications. Assume the matrix \(A\) is \(m \times n\).
13. Show that if \(P\) is an invertible \(m \times m\) matrix, then rank\(PA\)=rank\(A\).(Hint: Apply Exercise12 to \(PA\) and \({P^{ - 1}}\left( {PA} \right)\).)
In Exercise 18, Ais an \(m \times n\) matrix. Mark each statement True or False. Justify each answer.
18. a. If B is any echelon form of A, then the pivot columns of B form a basis for the column space of A.
b. Row operations preserve the linear dependence relations among the rows of A.
c. The dimension of the null space of A is the number of columns of A that are not pivot columns.
d. The row space of \({A^T}\) is the same as the column space of A.
e. If A and B are row equivalent, then their row spaces are the same.
Is it possible for a nonhomogeneous system of seven equations in six unknowns to have a unique solution for some right-hand side of constants? Is it possible for such a system to have a unique solution for every right-hand side? Explain.
What would you have to know about the solution set of a homogenous system of 18 linear equations 20 variables in order to understand that every associated nonhomogenous equation has a solution? Discuss.
