Could someone help me solve this: Give an example of matrices, #A#, #B#, #C# such that #B != C#, #A != 0#, and yet #AB = AC#?

Here's an example...

Explanation:

A simple example can be provided by making:

#A=((1, 0), (0, 0))#

#B=((1, 0), (0, 1))#

#C=((1, 0), (0, 2))#

Then:

#A != 0#

#B != C#

#AB = ((1, 0), (0, 0))((1, 0), (0, 1)) = ((1, 0), (0, 0)) = ((1, 0), (0, 0))((1, 0), (0, 2)) = AC#
