Answer: Let A and B be n × n matrices. Show that if AB is

Chapter 2, Problem 27E

(choose chapter or problem)

Let A and B be n × n matrices. Show that if AB is invertible, so is A. You cannot use Theorem 6(b), because you cannot assume that A and B are invertible. [Hint: There is a matrix W such that ABW = I. Why?]Theorem 6(b):If A and B are n × n invertible matrices, then so is AB, and the inverse of AB is the product of the inverses of A and B in the reverse order. That is, (AB)–1 = B–1A–1
