The null space of an m×n matrix A is a subspace of Rn. Equivalently, the set of all solutions to a system Ax=0 of m homogeneous linear equations in n unknowns is a subspace of Rn.
Theorem
The column space of an m×n matrix A is a subspace of Rm.
Theorem
The column space of an m×n matrix A is all of Rm if and only if the equation Ax=b has a solution for each b∈Rm.
