Suppose A is an Nxp matrix of rank r with real coefficients. The matrix A# is called a pseudoinverse of A.

Prove the existence of the matrices
B ∈ RNxr and C ∈ Rrxp for which:​

A = BC

det(CCT) != 0
det(BTB) !=0

Find the pseudoinverses of B and C. Also show that A# = C#B# is a pseudoinverse for A.

I'm trying this with the SVD of A, but I'm not sure how to represent B & C in the context of the SVD and carry on from there.
