Let A be an mxn matrix and suppose that B is an mxp matrix such that every column of B is in the column space of A. Prove that there is a matrix X such that
AX=B.
(HITN: we know the equation Ax=v has a solution if and only if vcol(A))

I got the same question, but there was a typo in it. I think it should read like this:
Letbe an
matrix and suppose that
is an
matrix such that every column of
is in the column space of
.
Prove that there is a matrixsuch that
(
would be an
size matrix).
[HINT: we know that the equationhas a solution if and only if
.]
An addition to the hint was provided that for any column (i.e.) of
, there is always a solution,
, to
, so we are to apply this successively to each column and determine how many
's we obtain.
