Option B is correct. If Ax = b has a solution, vector b will a linear combination of columns of matrix A.
Option C is correct. In a matrix equation, product Ax when defined, is a sum of products.
Option D is incorrect. If an augmented matrix [Ab] had a pivot position in every row, there could be a pivot in the last column which would make it inconsistent.
Option E is correct. If the columns of an m×n matrix A span, then the equation Ax=b is consistent for each b in
Option F is correct. IfA is an m x n matrix whose columns do not span, then the equation Ax = b is inconsistent for some b in
Options B, C, E, and F are correct.
