Exercises 23-26 concern a vector space V, a basis \(B = \left\{ {{{\bf{b}}_{\bf{1}}},....,{{\bf{b}}_n}\,} \right\}\)and the coordinate mapping \({\bf{x}} \mapsto {\left( {\bf{x}} \right)_B}\).
Given vectors, \({u_{\bf{1}}}\),….,\({u_p}\) and w in V, show that w is a linear combination of \({u_{\bf{1}}}\),….,\({u_p}\) if and only if \({\left( w \right)_B}\) is a linear combination of vectors \({\left( {{{\bf{u}}_{\bf{1}}}} \right)_B}\),….,\({\left( {{{\bf{u}}_p}} \right)_B}\).
Question: Exercises 12-17 develop properties of rank that are sometimes needed in applications. Assume the matrix \(A\) is \(m \times n\).
16. If \(A\) is an \(m \times n\) matrix of rank\(r\), then a rank factorization of \(A\) is an equation of the form \(A = CR\), where \(C\) is an \(m \times r\) matrix of rank\(r\) and \(R\) is an \(r \times n\) matrix of rank \(r\). Such a factorization always exists (Exercise 38 in Section 4.6). Given any two \(m \times n\) matrices \(A\) and \(B\), use rank factorizations of \(A\) and \(B\) to prove that rank\(\left( {A + B} \right) \le {\mathop{\rm rank}\nolimits} A + {\mathop{\rm rank}\nolimits} B\).
(Hint: Write \(A + B\) as the product of two partitioned matrices.)
