Expert Solution
Step 1: rank of A

The dimension of the matrix A is 7 cross times 6

So the number of rows is m=7 and the number of columns is n=6

The dimension of the null space is N=4

The rank of the matrix is given by,

r a n k left parenthesis A right parenthesis equals n minus N space space
r a n k left parenthesis A right parenthesis equals 6 minus 4 space space
r a n k left parenthesis A right parenthesis equals 2
