Solutions to Systems of Equations

Let A be an n-by-n matrix. The following statements are equivalent:

1) Ax = b has exactly one solution for any b .2) Ax = 0 has no nonzero solutions.3) The rank of A is n.4) The reduced form of A has no zeroes along the main diagonal.5) A is invertible6) det(A) 6= 0

How do we Find Eigenvalues, Though?

A matrix; λ eigenvalue, x eigenvector (so x 6= 0)

Ax = λx

Ax− λx = 0

(A− λI )x = 0

(A− λI )x = 0 has a nonzero solution

det(A− λI ) = 0
