Chapter 2: Q12Q (page 93)
In exercise 11 and 12, the matrices are all \(n \times n\). Each part of the exercise is an implication of the form 鈥淚f 鈥渟tatement 1鈥 then 鈥渟tatement 2鈥.鈥滿ark the implication as True if the truth of 鈥渟tatement 2鈥漚lways follows whenever 鈥渟tatement 1鈥 happens to be true. An implication is False if there is an instance in which 鈥渟tatement 2鈥 is false but 鈥渟tatement 2鈥 is false but 鈥渟tatement 1鈥 is true. Justify each answer.
a. If there is a \(n \times n\) matrix \(D\) such that \(AD = I\), then there is also an \(n \times n\) matrix \(C\) such that \(CA = I\).
b. If the columns of \(A\) are linearly independent, then the olumn of \(A\) span \({\mathbb{R}^n}\).
c. If the equation \(A{\bf{x}} = {\bf{b}}\) has at least one solution for each \({\bf{b}}\) in \({\mathbb{R}^n}\), then solution is unique for each \({\bf{b}}\).
d. If the linear transformation \(\left( x \right) \mapsto A{\bf{x}}\) maps \({\mathbb{R}^n}\) into \({\mathbb{R}^n}\), then \(A\) has \(n\) pivot position.
e. If there is a \({\bf{b}}\) in \({\mathbb{R}^n}\) such that the equation \(A{\bf{x}} = {\bf{b}}\) is inconsistent, then the transformation \(\left( x \right) \mapsto A{\bf{x}}\) is not one-to-one.
