Give example of matrices:
A and B such that AB = O but A ≠ 0, B ≠ 0.
✓
Answer
Let $\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}0&2\\0&0\end{bmatrix},\ \text{B}=\begin{bmatrix}1&0\\0&0\end{bmatrix}$
$\therefore\ \text{AB}=\begin{bmatrix}0+0&0+0\\0+0&0+0\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}0&0\\0&0\end{bmatrix}=0$
Thus, AB = 0 while A ≠ 0 and B ≠ 0
