We assume $n \geq 2$. Let $F = H$ be a hyperplane of $E_{n}$ and let $N \in E_{n}$ be a unit vector normal to $H$. $A$ is an invertible matrix in $\mathcal{M}_{n}(\mathbb{R})$. Show that if $\operatorname{det}\left(\left(A^{-1}\right)_{s}\right) = 0$, then there exists a hyperplane $H$ of $E_{n}$ such that $A$ is $H$-singular.
