Exercise 2.4.10

Answers

1.
Since AB = In is invertible, we have A and B is invertible by the previous exercise.
2.
We have that AB = In and A is invertible. So we can conclude that
A1 = A1I n = A1AB = B.

Let T is a mapping from V to W and U is a mapping from W to V with dimW =dimV . If TU be the identity mapping, then both T and U are invertible. Furthermore T1 = U.

To prove this we may pick bases α of V and β of W and set A = [T]αβ and B = [U]βα. Now apply the above arguments we have that A and B is invertible, so are T and U by Theorem 2.18.
