Null Space Contains Zero Vector

Theorem
Let:
 * $\operatorname{N} \left({\mathbf A}\right) = \left\{{\mathbf x \in \R^n: \mathbf {Ax} = \mathbf 0}\right\}$

be the null space of $\mathbf A$, where:


 * $ \mathbf A_{m \times n} = \begin{bmatrix}

a_{11} & a_{12} & \cdots & a_{1n} \\ a_{21} & a_{22} & \cdots & a_{2n} \\ \vdots & \vdots & \ddots & \vdots \\ a_{m1} & a_{m2} & \cdots & a_{mn} \\ \end{bmatrix}$

is a matrix in the matrix space $\mathbf M_{m, n} \left({\R}\right)$.

Then the null space of $\mathbf A$ contains the zero vector:
 * $\mathbf 0 \in \operatorname{N}\left({\mathbf A}\right)$

where:
 * $\mathbf 0 = \mathbf 0_{m \times 1} = \begin{bmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ \vdots \\ 0 \end{bmatrix}$
