Let A be an m×n matrix. If these exist two distinct vectors v1 and v2 such that Av1=Av2 then there exists a non-zero vector, v, such as that Av= 0. Explain why this must be true. I'm a bit confused about this question, my first thought is that if the vectors always equal each other when multiplied by A, and the vectors are distinct (Assuming non-zero as well due to how the question is worded) then it must be that A is the reason they always equal and that A causes both sides to equal zero.

Linear Algebra

In mathematics, problems can be solved by the arithmetic operators like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. In algebra, we represent the numbers by any letter called a variable. If these variables are of degree 1, then it is studied under linear algebra. The first-degree equations involving algebraic expressions are called linear equations. That is, if you represent it by drawing a graph you will get a straight line.
