If A is a 4 x 7 matrix, then the (^) dimension of Nul A is S^ equal (^) to three.
The vector 3u * 2v is A (^) in Span (^) {r, r}.
If A is a non-invertible matrix, (^) then the (^) columns of ,4 are 5, (^) N (^) linearly inde- pendent.
(e) (^) If A is invertible, then Nul A A^ consists of only the zero vector.
(f) (^) If dim V:6 and if .9 is asubset of (^) V with (^) 7 vectors, (^) then (^) ^9 t (^) spans 7.
