Kernel Equality
$begingroup$
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.

Usingker
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 $mathbf xinmathsf{Ker}A$.
