let be an matrix and an matrix so that the product is defined. suppose we know that the rref of both a and b have pivots in every column. explain why it follows that every column of rref(a b) also has a pivot in each column.

Answer :

A pivot in every row means that the linear system A x=b has at least one solution, for every b.

If every column has a pivot, then the linear system A x=b has at most one solution.

If both hold (which can happen only if A is a square matrix), we get that the system A x=b has unique solution for every b.

A pivot in every row is equivalent to A having a right inverse, and equivalent to the columns of A spanning

[tex]$\mathbb{R}^m$ ( $m$[/tex] is the number of rows).

A pivot in every column is equivalent to A having a left inverse, and equivalent to the columns of A being linearly independent

A pivot means fundamentally changing the direction of a business when you realize the current products or services aren't meeting the needs of the market. The main goal of a pivot is to help a company improve revenue or survive in the market, but the way you pivot your business can make all the difference.

The first nonzero item of each row in a matrix in row-echelon form is known as a pivot, and the columns in which pivots appear are known as pivot columns.
