Answer

Rows of AB are linearly dependent

Work Step by Step

\[ \text { put } A=\left[\begin{array}{l} a_{1} \\ a_{2} \\ a_{n} \end{array}\right] \] 1) Because. the rows' of A are.linearly dependent \[ C_{1} a_{1}+c_{2} a_{2}+\dots+c_{n} a_{n}=0 \] 2) After matrix multiplication, \[ A B=\left[\begin{array}{c} a_{1} B \\ a_{2} B \\ \vdots \\ a_{n} B \end{array}\right] \] where the rows of $A B$ are given by rows of $A^{\prime}$ multiplied. by $^{\prime} B^{\prime}$ To prove that $\quad$ rows of $A B$ are linear dependent assume the Statement is trace. trace is so rows of $A B$ are linearly dependent.
