    Are Column Vectors in AB Unchanged if Linearly Independent?

    If you have a 3x3 matrix AB of rank 2, and you are asked to find two linearly independent vectors in the column space of A, are those the same vectors in the column space of AB? I figure it is since if the vectors are linearly independent they wouldn't change. Am I right?

    Adjusting Air Column Length with Water: Why No Waves?

    In many problems , to change the length of the air column we use water but I don't understand why waves don't pass into water and then the reflected wave will have less amplitude and hence standing waves could not be formed.

    What to do with a zero column in a system of linear equations?

    Hello, just started a LA course, and I have a small question. If I get a zero column while solving for a system of linear equations, and that column corresponds to, say, variable x_{5}, do we just not include it in the solution set since it appears in no equation of the system? Or is it a free...
