Question

Let A denote an

m×nm \times n

matrix. (a) Show that null A=null(UA) for every invertible

m×nm \times n

matrix U. (b) Show that dim(null A)=dim(null(AV)) for every invertible

n×nn \times n

matrix V. [Hint: If

{x1,X2,,Xk}\left\{ \mathbf { x } _ { 1 } , \mathbf { X } _ { 2 } , \dots , \mathbf { X } _ { k } \right\}

is a basis of null A, show that

{V1x1,V1x2,,V1xk}\left\{ V ^ { - 1 } \mathbf { x } _ { 1 } , V ^ { - 1 } \mathbf { x } _ { 2 } , \dots , V ^ { - 1 } \mathbf { x } _ { k } \right\}

is a basis of null(AV).]
