Linear Algebra: Show that the set of all 2 x 2 diagonal matrices is a subspace of M 2x2. I know that a diagonal matrix is a square of n x n matrix whose nondiagonal entries are zero, such as the n x n identity matrix. But could you explain every step of how to prove that this diagonal matrix is a subspace of M 2x2. Thanks.

How can I think about matrix entries in a general sense? I a looking for a much deeper analysis than “systems of equations.” For instance, I know that when it is a rotation matrix, I know that the column vectors in the matrix, R, will be where the basis vectors land, and hence it will rotate any given vector accordingly. (is this correct in a general sense, as far as rotation matrices go?) However, for a general linear transformation, I...

Prove that for a square n ×n matrix A, Ax = b (1) has one and only one solution if and only if A is invertible; i.e., that there exists a matrix n ×n matrix B such that AB = I = B A. NOTE 01: The statement or theorem is of the form P iff Q, where P is the statement “Equation (1) has a unique solution” and Q is the statement “The matrix A is invertible”. This means...
