Question

QUESTION 1Given a n x m matrix A and m X p matrix B, if AB = 0 then A = 0 or B = 0.TrueFalseQUESTION 2Given an xm matrix A,an n x n identity matrix I, exists such that I, A = Al, = A.TrueFalse

Answer 1

Given:

`A_(n* m),B_(m* p)`

If AB = 0,

Then it is not necessary that A=0 or B=0

To prove this, we consider an example:

Let n=m = p =2

Then AB is given as:

Clearly AB= 0 but A,B not equals to zero.

Hence, the given statement is not true.

Hence, the answer is false.
