Kernel Equality












0












$begingroup$


So for my university studies I was given this problem:



Let B ∈ R^k×m and A ∈ Rm×n
. Further assume that Ker(B) ∩ Ran(A) = {o}. Show
that this implies Ker(A) = Ker(BA).^



To this point I have come so far with that problem:



For showing set equality you have to show that



$Ker(A) subset Ker(BA) ,,, land ,,, Ker(BA) subset Ker(A)$



I have managed to show the easier inclusion myself like this:



Show that:



$Ker(A) subset Ker(BA)$



Let $ x in R^n $ be an arb. vector such that $ Ax = 0$



Now look at $BAx$



$BAx = B(Ax) = B (0) = Bcdot 0 = 0$



$ Rightarrow$ $Ker(A)$ is indeed a subset of $Ker(BA)$ Since $x$ was choosen arb.



But now im having a hard time to find a rigorous proof for the other inclusion, I started with this:



Show that:



$Ker(BA) subset Ker(A)$



Now let $ x in R^n$ be an arb. vector such that $BAx = 0$ Now show that also $Ax = 0$.



$BAx = 0$ $y:= Ax, ,,, y in R^m$



$By = 0$



But this is it i haven't come further and I have no clue how to proceed especially how to use that one condition stated in the problem ($ Ker(B) cap Ran(A) =$ {0}).



I would be very glad if someone could help me with this.

    Using ker will produce $ker$ which also has the correct spacing. It is also more appealing to the readers if you put the effort to make the entire question using $rmLaTeX$ and don't use "arb." as a short for "arbitrary".

$mathbf xinmathsf{Ker}BA$ or equivalently $BAmathbf x=mathbf0$ implies that $Amathbf xinmathsf{Ker}B$.



Also we have $Amathbf xinmathsf{Ran}A$, so $Amathbf xinmathsf{Ran}Acapmathsf{Ker}B={mathbf0} $.



So actually we have $Amathbf x=mathbf0$ or equivalently $mathbf xinmathsf{Ker}A$.
