Question

If you multiply a matrix and its inverse together, you will always get the identity

matrix.
True
False

Answer 1

Yes

Step-by-step explanation: And 1 is the identity, so called because 1x = x for any number x. It works the same way for matrices. If you multiply a matrix (such as A) and its inverse (in this case, A–1), you get the identity matrix I.

Answer 2

True

Explanation:

If you multiply a matrix (such as A) and its inverse (in this case, A–1), you get the identity matrix I. And the point of the identity matrix is that IX = X for any matrix X (meaning "any matrix of the correct size", of course).
