Welcome to the PF. :smile:

At the PF, we need you to show your best efforts to work on the problem before we can offer any tutorial help. Please show your work, so we can guide your efforts. Thanks.
 
Hi! i don't know maybe matrix A is like zero matrix. I guess its something easy but i just don't get it right now
 
That's not enough work. Please show more, or your thread will be closed. Thank you.
 
alright, i guess its not a forum for discussions, thanks anyway
 
It's a forum that helps students to learn. And to learn how to learn. That's in the rules that you agreed to when you joined. If you've looking to cheat on your homework, this isn't the place for you. Thread is closed.
