What Does RGV Stand For in Casual Communication?

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around a mathematical statement concerning matrices, specifically focusing on the determinants of matrices A and B, and their product AB. The participants explore the implications of the condition that the product AB equals zero while both matrices are non-zero.

Discussion Character

  • Conceptual clarification, Mathematical reasoning

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss the relationship between the determinants of the matrices involved, questioning how to express the determinant of the product in terms of the individual determinants. There is also a mention of considering examples to understand the statement better.

Discussion Status

Some participants have provided insights into the determinant relationship, noting that the product of the determinants equals the determinant of the product. There is an acknowledgment of the simplicity of the relationship, but no consensus on further implications or examples has been reached.

Contextual Notes

One participant expresses confusion about the acronym "RGV," indicating a potential need for clarification on terminology used in casual communication.

Hi. I have the following sentence:

[tex]\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}[/tex]

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 [itex]\det(A), \det(B) \text{ and } \det(AB)?[/itex]

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!

edit. What's RGV?

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