Show that if \(A\) is similar to \(B\) and \(A\) is nonsingular then \(B\) must also be nonsingular and \(A^{-1}\) and \(B^{-1}\) are similar.

Short Answer

Expert verified
We are given that A is similar to B and A is nonsingular. First, we can write the relationship between A and B as \(B = P^{-1}AP\), where P is a nonsingular matrix. To prove B is nonsingular, we rewrite the equation as \(B^{-1}BP = B^{-1}(P^{-1}AP)\), and after multiplying both sides by A鈦宦 and P鈦宦, we obtain \(B^{-1} = B^{-1}(P^{-1})\), which shows that B鈦宦 exists, and therefore B is nonsingular. To show that A鈦宦 and B鈦宦 are similar, we can rewrite the equation for A and B as \(BP^{-1} = P^{-1}A\), and then multiply both sides by B鈦宦. After simplification, we get \(PA^{-1} = B^{-1}P\), which implies that \(B^{-1} =PAPA^{-1}\). So, A鈦宦 and B鈦宦 are similar, as required.

Step by step solution

01

Recall the definition of similar matrices

Two matrices A and B are similar if there exists a nonsingular matrix P such that \(B = P^{-1}AP\). Since A is similar to B, we have \(B = P^{-1}AP\), where P is a nonsingular matrix.
02

Prove that B is nonsingular

We are given that A is nonsingular, meaning that A has an inverse, denoted as A鈦宦. Now let's find the inverse of B. We can multiply both sides of the equation \(B = P^{-1}AP\) by their inverse matrices, i.e., first multiply both sides by B鈦宦, and then multiply by P. Beginning with the left side, B鈦宦笲: \(B^{-1}B = B^{-1}(P^{-1}AP)\) Next, multiply both sides by P: \((B^{-1}B)P = (B^{-1}(P^{-1}AP))P\) Now, simplify: \(B^{-1}BP = B^{-1}(P^{-1}APP)\) Since BP = BP, the equation becomes: \(B^{-1} = B^{-1}(P^{-1}A)\) Now, multiply both sides of the equation by A鈦宦: \(B^{-1}A^{-1} = B^{-1}(P^{-1}A)A^{-1}\) Simplifying, we get: \(B^{-1}A^{-1} = B^{-1}(P^{-1})\) Finally, multiply both sides by P鈦宦 to get: \(B^{-1}(A^{-1}P^{-1}) = B^{-1}\) This equation shows that B鈦宦 exists, and therefore B is nonsingular.
03

Show that A鈦宦 and B鈦宦 are similar

Now, we need to show that A鈦宦 and B鈦宦 are similar. We can do this by finding a relationship between A鈦宦 and B鈦宦 using the matrix P. We know already that \(B = P^{-1}AP\), and we know that A and B are nonsingular. Therefore, we can multiply both sides of the equation by A鈦宦 and P鈦宦. First, multiply both sides by A鈦宦: \(A^{-1}B = A^{-1}(P^{-1}AP)\) Next, multiply both sides by P鈦宦: \(A^{-1}BP^{-1} = A^{-1}(P^{-1}AP)P^{-1}\) Now simplify: \(A^{-1}(BP^{-1}) = A^{-1}(P^{-1}A)\) We can rewrite this equation: \(BP^{-1} = P^{-1}A\) Now, multiply both sides of the equation by B鈦宦: \(B^{-1}BP^{-1} = B^{-1} (P^{-1}A)\) Simplifying, we get: \(B^{-1} = P^{-1}AA^{-1}\) Finally, multiply both sides by P: \(PB^{-1} = P(P^{-1}AA^{-1})\) Simplifying, we get: \(PA^{-1} = B^{-1}P\), which implies that \(B^{-1} =PAPA^{-1}\), by substituting A鈦宦. That is, the inverse matrices A鈦宦 and B鈦宦 are similar as required.
