Given that A and B are n × n matrices and T is a linear transformation. Determine which of the following is FALSE.
(a) If AB is not invertible, then either A or B is not invertible.
(b) If Au = Av and u and v are 2 distinct vectors, then A is not invertible.
(c) If A or B is not invertible, then AB is not invertible.
(d) If T is invertible and T(u) = T(v), then u = v.
(e) none of these
Given An×nx = 0 has only the trivial solution, determine which of the following is FALSE.
(a) Ax = 0 does not have any free variable and thus every column of A is a pivot column.
(b) Ax = b has exactly one solution A−1 b for every b ∈ Rn
(c) A is row equivalent to In.
(d) Every row of A has a pivot position.
(e) none of these
