Answer

a) True b) False c) False d) True e) True

Work Step by Step

a) An $n$ x $n$ matrix $A$ is said to be invertible if there is an $n$ x $n$ matrix $C$ such that $CA = I$ and $AC = I$. (page 105) b) $(AB)^{-1} = B^{-1}A^{-1}$ - Theorem 6 b. (page 107) c) If $ad-bc \ne 0$, $A$ is invertible - Theorem 4. (page 105) d) If $A$ is an invertible $n$ x $n$ matrix, then for each $\mathbf{b}$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, the equation $A$$\mathbf{x}= \mathbf{b}$ has the unique solution $\mathbf{x} = A^{-1}\mathbf{b}$. -Theorem 5 (page 106) e) Rule: Each element matrix $E$ is invertible.
