If two matrices have equal products with all vectors

Created almost 9 years ago, updated about 8 hours ago

If $A,B\in\mathbb F^{m\times n}$ satisfy $Ax=Bx$ for every $x\in\mathbb F^n$, then $A=B$. Proof: take $x=e_j$; the products select the $j$th columns, which must agree for every $j$. Agreement on only one vector does not establish matrix equality.
