I got it B is not equal to null matrix but how is matrix A not equal to null matrix ? A mean (M+N^2) and B means (M-N^2)

"Matrix A"?

it means M+N^2 M and N are two matrices
SirLancelotDuLac
Two determinants, P and Q can multiply to null matrix with both being non-zero (With both being singular)

? I don't think so? At least one needs to be singular Sorry, I didn't get you
SirLancelotDuLac
Wait a min I gotta rephrase this. Sounds kind of...offending. Consider AB=0 where both A and B are non-zero and A is non singular. Now premultiply by A inverse both sides and we get B=0 which is a contradiction. For both to be non-zero, both must be singular. (Similar contradiction if B is non-singular)

Ok, I see that. But your original point is still wrong I think. They can't both be non-singular because then you can multiply by the inverses and get both to be null? This

Oh right. I meant to write 'singular', sorry
