### row rank= column rank, alternative proof [duplicate]

I am studying the theorem that states that the row rank of a matrix is the same as the column rank. I understood the proof and managed to use it in specific examples using a matrix. I am now, trying ...

### How come dim row A = rank if dim Im A is also = rank? [duplicate]

The following identities are true for a matrix $A$. \begin{align} \dim \mathrm{row}\, A &= \mathrm{rank}\,A \\ \dim \mathrm{Im}\, A &= \mathrm{rank}\, A \\ \dim \mathrm{row}\, A &= \dim \...

### Proof that determinant rank equals row/column rank

Let $A$ be a $m \times n$ matrix with entries from some field $F$. Define the determinant rank of $A$ to be the largest possible size of a nonzero minor, i.e. the size of the largest invertible square ...

### Why do elementary matrix operations not affect the row space of a given matrix?

I have shown that two of the three elementary operations will not change the image of the row space of the matrix: given a row vector $\vec{v}$, $k\vec{v}$ will span the same (scalar multiplication), ...

### Why do row operations not change the column rank?

From this question link, I got to know that row operation (row subtraction and row permutation) do change column space. But still it seems that it does not change the column rank. I am trying to prove ...

### Rank of vectors

Prove that the rank of a system of vectors from $E^n$ does is not bigger than the dimension of the vectors. For example the vectors $a,b,c$ are from $E^n$ so each of them has $n$ components (the ...

### $im(A)=im(AA^T)$ [duplicate]

If $A$ is an $n\times m$ matrix, is the formula $im(A)=im(AA^T)$ necessarily true? Explain. I believe this to be true when $n=m$ but am unable to prove if it's true where $n\neq m$. I also don't ...
