You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If A is a square matrix, and if A is invertible then every equation Ax = b has one and only one solution, namely x = A^(-1)b
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Note A^(-1)Ax = x = A^(-1)b
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "If A is not invertible, then Ax = b will ha have either no solutions or an infinite number of solutions.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "If b = 0, then the set of all solutions to Ax = 0 is the nullspace of A
\n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
