Answer

$AD=I_{3}$ is equivalent to $\left\{\begin{array}{l} A\mathrm{d}_{1}=\mathrm{e}_{1}, \\ A\mathrm{d}_{2}=\mathrm{e}_{2}, \\ A\mathrm{d}_{3}=\mathrm{e}_{3} \end{array}\right.$ Select one solution of each equation and place them as columns of $D$. Then, $AD=I_{3}$.

Work Step by Step

Represent matrices $I_{3}$ and $D$ wth their columns $I_{3}=[\mathrm{e}_{1}\ \mathrm{e}_{2}\ \mathrm{e}_{3}]$ $D=[\mathrm{d}_{1}\ \mathrm{d}_{2}\ \mathrm{d}_{3}]$. By definition of $AB=A[\mathrm{b}_{1}\ \mathrm{b}_{2}\ ...\ \mathrm{b}_{p}]=[A\mathrm{b}_{1}\ A\mathrm{b}_{2}\ ...\ A\mathrm{b}_{p}],$ $AD=A[\mathrm{d}_{1}\ \mathrm{d}_{2}\ \mathrm{d}_{3}]=[A\mathrm{d}_{1}\ A\mathrm{d}_{2}\ A\mathrm{d}_{3}]$ $AD=I_{3}$ is equivalent to $\left\{\begin{array}{l} A\mathrm{d}_{1}=\mathrm{e}_{1}, \\ A\mathrm{d}_{2}=\mathrm{e}_{2}, \\ A\mathrm{d}_{3}=\mathrm{e}_{3} \end{array}\right.$ Theorem 4 in Section 1.4 states that if A spans $\mathbb{R}^{3},$ then each of these equations has at least one solution Select one solution of each equation and place them as columns of $D$. Then, $AD=I_{3}$.
