Continuing Exercise 3.2.10: Let A be an \(m \times n\) matrix.

a. Use Theorem 2.5 to prove that \(\mathbf{N}\left(A^{\top} A\right)=\mathbf{N}(A)\). (Hint: If \(\mathbf{x} \in \mathbf{N}\left(A^{\top} A\right)\), then \(A \mathbf{x} \in \mathbf{C}(A) \cap \mathbf{N}\left(A^{\top}\right)\).)

b. Prove that \(\operatorname{rank}(A)=\operatorname{rank}\left(A^{\top} A\right)\).

c. Prove that \(\mathbf{C}\left(A^{\top} A\right)=\mathbf{C}\left(A^{\top}\right)\).
