Office_Shredder Staff Emeritus Science Advisor Gold Member Messages 5,706 Reaction score 1,592 Jul 6, 2010 #6 Hah, now that that's cleared up. What have you tried so far? It might be a good idea to look at a couple of small examples (2x2 or 2x3 matrices) just to see what's going on (especially because you don't know if the statement is true, so you might find a counterexample)
