- True or false? det(A) is defined only for a square matrix A.arrow_forwardGuide Proof Prove that if A and B are diagonal matrices of the same size, then AB=BA. Getting Started: To prove that the matrices AB and BA are equal, you need to show that their corresponding entries are equal. i Begin your proof by letting A=aij and B=bij be two diagonal nn matrices. ii The ij th entry of the product AB is cij=k=1naikbkj. iii Evaluate the entries cij for the two cases ij and i=j. iv Repeat this analysis for the product BA.arrow_forwardWriting Let x be a solution to mn homogeneous linear system of equations Ax=0. Explain why x is orthogonal to the row vectors of A.arrow_forward
- Proof Let A and B be nn matrices such that AB=I.Prove that |A|0 and |B|0.arrow_forwardGuided Proof Prove that if A is row-equivalent to B, and B is row-equivalent to C, A is row-equivalent to C. Getting Started: to prove that If A is row-equivalent to C, you have to find elementary matrices E1, E2. Ek such that A=EkE2E1C. i Begin by observing that A is row-equivalent to B and B is row-equivalent to C. ii This means that there exist elementary matrices F1F2Fn and G1G2Gm such that A=FnF2F1B and B=GmG2G1C. iii Combine the matrix equations from step ii.arrow_forwardGuided proof Prove the associative property of matrix addition: A+B+C=A+B+C. Getting Started: To prove that A+B+C and A+B+C are equal, show that their corresponding entries are equal. i Begin your proof by letting A, B, and C be mn matrices. ii Observe that the ij th entry of B+C is bij+cij. iii Furthermore, the ij th entry of A+B+C is aij+bij+cij. iv Determine the ij th entry of A+B+C.arrow_forward
