Question
Let A be a matrix with linearly independent columns. Select the best statement. You have only three attempts at this problem. The equation Ax = b has a solution for all b precisely when it has more rows than columns. There is no easy way to tell if Ax = b has a solution for all b The equation Ax = b has a solution for all b precisely when it is a square matrix. The equation Ax = b always has a solution for all b The equation Ax = b never has a solution for all b The equation Ax = b has a solution for all b precisely when it has more columns than rows, none of the aboveExplanation / Answer
c)
When A is a square matrix with all columns linearly independent then det(A) is non-zero.
Then inverse of A exists and the solution is x=A^(-1) B for all B provided the product A^(-1) B is compatible.
