Chapter 2: Q23Q (page 93)
Suppose \(CA = {I_n}\)(the \(n \times n\) identity matrix). Show that the equation \(Ax = 0\) has only the trivial solution. Explain why Acannot have more columns than rows.
Amust have at least as many rows as columns because each pivot is in a different row.

If a matrix \(A\) is \({\bf{5}} \times {\bf{3}}\) and the product \(AB\)is \({\bf{5}} \times {\bf{7}}\), what is the size of \(B\)?
In Exercises 1 and 2, compute each matrix sum or product if it is defined. If an expression is undefined, explain why. Let
\(A = \left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}2&0&{ - 1}\\4&{ - 5}&2\end{aligned}} \right)\), \(B = \left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}7&{ - 5}&1\\1&{ - 4}&{ - 3}\end{aligned}} \right)\), \(C = \left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}1&2\\{ - 2}&1\end{aligned}} \right)\), \(D = \left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}3&5\\{ - 1}&4\end{aligned}} \right)\) and \(E = \left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}{ - 5}\\3\end{aligned}} \right)\)
\( - 2A\), \(B - 2A\), \(AC\), \(CD\).
In Exercises 33 and 34, Tis a linear transformation from \({\mathbb{R}^2}\) into \({\mathbb{R}^2}\). Show that T is invertible and find a formula for \({T^{ - 1}}\).
34. \(T\left( {{x_1},{x_2}} \right) = \left( {6{x_1} - 8{x_2}, - 5{x_1} + 7{x_2}} \right)\)
Let \({{\bf{r}}_1} \ldots ,{{\bf{r}}_p}\) be vectors in \({\mathbb{R}^{\bf{n}}}\), and let Qbe an\(m \times n\)matrix. Write the matrix\(\left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}{Q{{\bf{r}}_1}}& \cdots &{Q{{\bf{r}}_p}}\end{aligned}} \right)\)as a productof two matrices (neither of which is an identity matrix).
Suppose AB = AC, where Band Care \(n \times p\) matrices and A is invertible. Show that B = C. Is this true, in general, when A is not invertible.
