Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The ith column of an identity matrix is the unit vector ei (the vector whose ith entry is 1 and 0 elsewhere) It follows that the determinant of the identity matrix is 1, and the trace is n. When the identity matrix is the product of two square matrices, the two matrices are said to be the inverse of each other.
