(7) State whether the following statements are True or False.
Justify your answers with proper reason/ counter example.
(a) Matrix addition is commutative and associative.
(b) Matrix multiplication is neither commutative nor
associative.
(c) If the matrices A, B, and C satisfy AB = AC, then
B = C.
(d) (AB)T = AT B T .

(f) Inverse of non-singular matrix is unique.
(g) Product of two invertible matrices is invertible.
(h) Sum of two singular matrices is singular.

(8) Let A be a square matrix. (a) If A2 = O show that I − A is
invertible. (b) If A3 = O, show that I − A is invertible.
(c) In general, if An = O for some positive integer n, show
that I − A is invertible. (Hint : Think of the geometric
series.) (d) Suppose that A2 + 2A + I = O. Show that A is
invertible.
(9) Show that the matrix AB with symmetric matrices A and B,
is symmetric if and only if matrices A and B commute, that
is AB = BA.

week be given by the matrix
