Question 5.and det { A} E Q (the rational numbers).Let (G, ) denote the set of all 2 x 2 real matrices A with det{A} 0(a) Prove that (G, ·) is a group with respect to multiplication. (Matrix multiplication is alwaysassociative, so you may assume that. But check closure and the existence of an identity elementand inverse elements very carefully.)(b) Is this group Abelian? Justify.
