Prove the following statements:

a) If A and B are two positive semidefinite matrices in IR ^ n × n , then trace (AB) ≥ 0. If, in addition, trace (AB) = 0, then AB = BA =0

b) Let A and B be two (different) n × n real matrices such that R(A) = R(B), where R(·) denotes the range of a matrix.
(1) Show that R(A + B) is a subspace of R(A).
(2) Is it always true that R(A + B) = R(A)? If so, prove it; otherwise, give a counterexample

Let A, B be n × n matrices. The following are two incorrect proofs that ABhas the same non-zero eigenvalues as BA. For each, state two things wrong with the proof: (i) We will prove that AB and BA have the same characteristic equation. We have that det(AB − λI) = det(ABAA−1 − λAA−1) = det(A(BA − λI)A−1) = det(A) + det(BA − λI) − det(A) = det(BA − λI) Hence det(AB − λI) = det(BA − λI), and so...
