If the product AB is a zero matrix, then:
Aneither factor need be zero
BB must be the zero matrix
CA must be the zero matrix
DA or B must be zero
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. neither factor need be zero
Two nonzero matrices can multiply to the zero matrix, so no factor is forced to be zero.
