Consider an n × p matrix A, a p × m matrix B, and a scalar k. Show that (k A)B = A (k B) = k(AB)
Matrixis invertible for all real numbers k.
Give a geometric interpretation of the linear transformations defined by the matrices in Exercises 16through 23 . Show the effect of these transformations on the letter considered in Example 5 . In each case, decide whether the transformation is invertible. Find the inverse if it exists, and interpret it geometrically. See Exercise 13.

Let in all parts of this problem.
(a) Find the scalar such that the matrixfails to be invertible. There are two solutions; choose one and use it in parts (b) and (c).
(b) For the you choose in part (a), find a non-zero vector such that
role="math" localid="1659697491583"
(c) Note that the equation can be written as.
Check that the equation holds for yourfrom part (a) and yourfrom part (b).
Write all possible forms of elementarymatrices E. In each case, describe the transformationgeometrically.
