Matrix \(A\) is equivalent to matrix \(B,\) written \(A \approx B,\) if there exist nonsingular matrices \(P\) and \(Q\) such that \(B=P A Q .\) Prove that \(\approx\) is an equivalence relation; that is, (a) \(A \approx A\) (b) If \(A \approx B,\) then \(B \approx A\) (c) If \(A \approx B\) and \(B \approx C,\) then \(A \approx C\)
Let \(B^{\prime}\) and \(D^{\prime}\) be \(m \times n\) matrices, and let \(B\) and \(D\) be \((m+1) \times(n+1)\) matrices respectively defined by $$ B=\left(\begin{array}{c|ccc} 1 & 0 & \cdots & 0 \\ \hline 0 & & & \\ \vdots & & B^{\prime} & \\ 0 & & & \end{array}\right) \text { and } D=\left(\begin{array}{c|ccc} 1 & 0 & \cdots & 0 \\ \hline 0 & & & \\ \vdots & & D^{\prime} & \\ 0 & & & \end{array}\right) $$ Prove that if \(B^{\prime}\) can be transformed into \(D^{\prime}\) by an elementary row [column] operation, then \(B\) can be transformed into \(D\) by an elementary row [column] operation.
