Work Step by Step

An example of a square matrix $A=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1 \\ 1 & -1 \end{bmatrix}$ Obtain: $A=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1 \\ 1 & -1 \end{bmatrix}\approx\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1 \\0 & 0 \end{bmatrix}\\ \rightarrow Rowspace(A)=(1,-1)$ If we let the $Rowspace (A)=(x,y) \rightarrow x=-y$ $A=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1\\1 & -1 \end{bmatrix}\approx \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix}\\ \rightarrow Colspace(A)=(1,1)$ Let $colspace (A)=(x,y) \rightarrow x=y$ Hence, we can see that row space and column space have no nonzero vectors in common.
