If A is an m by n matrix, prove that the set of vectors b that are not in C(A) forms a subspace.

If A is an m by n matrix, prove that the set of vectors b that are not in C(A) forms a subspace.

I would like to first understand if I am interpreting the question correctly. My understanding of this question is that I need to first prove that the set of vectors b are equal to the 0 vector, and if b1 and b2 are members of the subspace, then the sum of set b should be a member, and so should some scalar C multiplied by the set of vectors b. I just don't understand how to actually prove this

Your result is wrong. Maybe this picture can help you figure out.

Since every subspace must contain the zero vector, noted by $underline0$.

We know that $C(A)$ is a subspace for $mathbbR^m$, so $underline0in C(A) subseteq mathbbR^m$, that means the zero vector are inside the column space and also $mathbbR^m$.

But if we consider $mathbbR^msetminus C(A)$, by the picture, it means we are now cancelling the red circle out, so the zero vector is no longer inside this "space".

Therefore, it can not form a subspace.

Your first condition should be $0$ is in a subspace.

Also, the result is not true.

Let $0_m$ be the zero vector in $mathbbR^m$. We know that $0_m in C(A)$ since $sum_i=1^n A_i cdot 0=0_m$.

$0_m$ is in $C(A)$, $0_m$ can't be in the set of vector that are not in $C(A)$. Hence the set of vectors that are not in $C(A)$ can't form a subspace.
