Chapter 3, Problem 17

(choose chapter or problem)

Prove that if B is a \(3 \times 1\) matrix and C is a \(1 \times 3\) matrix, then the \(3 \times 3\) matrix BC has rank at most 1. Conversely, show that if A is any \(3 \times 3\) matrix having rank 1, then there exist a \(3 \times 1\) matrix B and a \(1 \times 3\) matrix C such that A = BC.
