I read that an equation of the form Ax=0 has a solution iff the matrix A has non-trivial Kernel, which makes sense as if A had trivial kernel then x would be trivial as well, meaning that only the x={0} solution would exist, right?
Secondly, I read that in order for A to have a non-trivial kernel, we need detA=0. Why is this so?
