![### Matrix Problems and Solutions
#### 25. Matrix Operations with Rows and Columns of Zeros
**a. Show that if \(A\) has a row of zeros and \(B\) is any matrix for which \(AB\) is defined, then \(AB\) also has a row of zeros.**
To demonstrate this, consider:
- \(A\) as an \(m \times n\) matrix.
- \(B\) as an \(n \times p\) matrix.
Assume the \(i\)th row of \(A\) is a row of zeros, i.e., \(\mathbf{a}_i = [0, 0, \ldots, 0]\). Then the \(i\)th row of the product \(AB\) is given by \(\mathbf{a}_i B = [0, 0, \ldots, 0] B = [0, 0, \ldots, 0]\). Therefore, the \(i\)th row of \(AB\) is a row of zeros.
**b. Find a similar result involving a column of zeros.**
Consider:
- \(A\) as an \(m \times n\) matrix.
- \(B\) as an \(n \times p\) matrix.
Assume the \(j\)th column of \(B\) is a column of zeros, i.e., \(\mathbf{b}_j = [0, 0, \ldots, 0]^T\). Then the product of \(A\) with the \(j\)th column of \(B\) results in the \(j\)th column of \(AB\) being a column of zeros, because:
\[
AB = [A\mathbf{b}_1, A\mathbf{b}_2, \ldots, A\mathbf{b}_p]
\]
where each \(\mathbf{b}_k\) is a column vector. If \(\mathbf{b}_j = [0, 0, \ldots, 0]^T\), then \(A \mathbf{b}_j = [0, 0, \ldots, 0]^T\), contributing a zero column to \(AB\).
