- Guided 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_forwardFind ATA and AAT for the matrix below. What do you observe? A=[132461]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_forward
- A square matrix is called upper triangular if all of the entries below the main diagonal are zero. Thus, the form of an upper triangular matrix is where the entries marked * are arbitrary. A more formal definition of such a matrix . 29. Prove that the product of two upper triangular matrices is upper triangular.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_forwardGuided Proof Prove that the inverse of a symmetric non-singular matrix is symmetric. Getting Started: To prove that the inverse of A is symmetric, you need to show that A-1T=A-1. i Let A be symmetric, nonsingular matrix. ii This means that AT=A and A-1 exists. iii Use the properties of the transpose to show that A-1T is equal to A-1.arrow_forward
