Question

(4pt) Let x be an n\times m real-valued matrix. Prove that x^(T)x=0 if and only if x=0. Hint: To prove an "if and only if" result, say "statement A if and only if statement B", first assume that statement A is true and prove that statement B is true. Next, assume that statement B is true and prove that statement A is true.
