Problem

Which subspaces are the same for these matrices of different sizes? (a) [A]\begin{bmatrix} A \end{bmatrix} and [AA]\begin{bmatrix} A \\ A \end{bmatrix}. (b) [AA]\begin{bmatrix} A \\ A \end{bmatrix} and [AAAA]\begin{bmatrix} A & A \\ A & A \end{bmatrix}. Prove that all three matrices have the same rank rr.
