Solution NM.C30 Robert Beezer
The matrix row-reduces to \begin{equation*} \begin{bmatrix} \leading{1}& 0 & 0 & 0\\ 0 & \leading{1} & 0 & 0\\ 0 & 0 & \leading{1} & 0\\ 0 & 0 & 0 & \leading{1} \end{bmatrix} \end{equation*} which is the $4\times 4$ identity matrix. By Theorem NMRRI the original matrix must be nonsingular.
