The Invertible Matrix Theorem: Part 1

Let ARn×n be a square matrix with real entries. Then, the following statements are equivalent . In other words, for a given matrix A, the statements are either all true or all false.

  1. There is a matrix CRn×n such that CA=In.
  2. There is a matrix DRn×n such that AD=In.
  3. A is an invertible matrix (A is nonsingular).
  4. A is a row equivalent to an 8.9 Upper-Triangular Matrix with nonzero entries on the main diagonal.
  5. A has n pivot positions.
  6. The matrix equation Ax=0 has only the trivial solution x=0.
  7. The columns of A are linearly independent. In other words,
