- Prove statement d of Theorem 3.9: If G is abelian, (xy)n=xnyn for all integers n.arrow_forwardLet A ∈Mn×n(F) be nonzero. For any m (1 ≤m ≤n), an m ×m submatrix is obtained by deleting any n −m rows and any n – m columns of A. (a) Let k (1 ≤k ≤n) denote the largest integer such that some k×k submatrix has a nonzero determinant. Prove that rank(A) = k. (b) Conversely, suppose that rank(A) = k. Prove that there exists a k ×k submatrix with a nonzero determinant.arrow_forwardSuppose X = Rk+, for some k ≥ 2, and define x = (x1,...,xk) ≽ y = (y1,...,yk) if x ≥ y; that is, if for all l = 1, ..., k, xl ≥ yl. Show that ≽ is transitive but not completearrow_forward
