Assume that A is row equivalent to B. Find bases for Nul A and Col A.
Assume that A is row equivalent to B. Find bases for Nul A and Col A.
Since B is a row echelon form of A, we see that the first, third and fifth columns of A are its pivot columns. Thus a basis fo Col A is
To find a basis for Nul A, we find the general solution of Ax=0 in terms of the free variables. Since it is row equivalent to B we can simply get reduced row echelon form of B:
to get:
And a basis for Nul A is
Result: Basis for Col A is:
Basis for Nul A is
