Re: Row Rank = Column Rank?
you have 4 columns and only 3 rows. since row rank = column rank, you cannot have more than 3 linearly independent columns.
as you pointed out, you do indeed have 3 linearly independent rows. this means the row rank is 3. thus the column rank is 3, so one of the columns must be a linear combination of the other 3. you have discovered that column 4 fits the bill.
Re: Row Rank = Column Rank?
Thanks a lot.
I guess I needed to match the INDEPENDENT columns/rows rather than trying to match the number of dependent ones... Thanks again.
