Let A be an mxn matrix. Explain why the equation Ax = b has a solution for all b in Rm if and only if the equation A'x =0 has only the trivial solution. Choose the correct answer below. O A. The system Ax = b has a solution for all b in R" if and only if the columns of A span Rm, or dim Col A = m. The equation A'x= 0 has only the trivial solution if and only if dim Nul A = 0. By the Rank Theorem, dim Col A = rank A = m - dim Nul A. Thus, dim Col A = m if and only if dim Nul A = 0. O B. The system Ax = b has a solution for all b in R" if and only if the columns of A span R", or dim Col A =m. The equation A'x = 0 has only the trivial solution if and only if dim NulA' =0. Since Col A = Row A', dim Col A = dim Row A' = rank A' = m - dim Nul A' by the Rank Theorem. Thus, dim Col A = m Nul AT =0. and only if dim O C. The system Ax = b has a solution for all b in R" if and only if the columns of A span R", or dim Row A =m. The equation A'x = 0 has only the trivial solution if and only if dim Nul A' = 0. Since Row A = Col A', dim Row A = dim Col A' = m - dim Nul A' by the Rank Theorem. Thus, dim Row A = m if and only if dim Nul A' = 0.
