By considering the matrices $$ \mathrm{A}=\left(\begin{array}{ll} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 \end{array}\right), \quad \mathrm{B}=\left(\begin{array}{ll} 0 & 0 \\ 3 & 4 \end{array}\right) $$ show that $A B=0$ does not imply that either $A$ or $B$ is the zero matrix, but that it does imply that at least one of them is singular.
If $\left[\begin{array}{ll}4^{\mathrm{b}} & 288 \\ 72 & 18^{\mathrm{a}}\end{array}\right]$ is a singular matrix and $2 \mathrm{~b}=\mathrm{a}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{c}}$, then $\mathrm{c}$ is _______. (1) 4 (2) $\frac{1}{4}$ (3) $\frac{1}{6}$ (4) 6
