Row reduction on a single matrix provides the information needed to construct bases for the column space, null space, row space, and left null space.

Column space and null space bases
Record that the pivot columns of the original form a basis for the column space and the special solutions form a basis for the null space.
Row space basis = nonzero rows of
State that the first rows of are a basis, and carry with rows , , to and the basis .
Left null space from
Write , take the rows of matching the zero rows of , and finish the example with delivering as the single basis vector.
Row operations keep the row space, change the column space
Give the argument that rows of are combinations of rows of and the steps reverse, then record as a vector in but not .
