Hi. I have the following sentence:

\begin{array}{l}<br /> A,B \in {M_{nxn}}\\<br /> A \ne 0\\<br /> B \ne 0\\<br /> {\rm{if }}AB = 0{\rm{ then}}\\<br /> {\rm{|A| = 0 or |B| = 0}}<br /> \end{array}

I know this is true but how can I realize? Just thinking about an example?


Thanks!

Can you express the determinant of AB in terms of those of A and B?

Do you know the relationship between \det(A), \det(B) \text{ and } \det(AB)?

Oh yes, it was incredibly simple: det(A)det(B)=det(AB) so det(A)det(B)=det(0) . I did one like this for symetric ones and I just didn't realize I could do the same here!
Thank you guys!

It's a signature, the equivalent of "10-4 Good Buddy" or "over and out".

There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
