3 and 4 .Determinants and Matrices
hard
If $A$ and $B$ are $3 × 3$ matrices and $| A | \ne 0$, then which of the following are true?
A
$| AB | = 0 ==> | B | = 0$
B
$| AB | = 0 ==> B = 0$
C
$| A^{-1} | = | A |^{-1}$
D
both $(A)$ and $(C)$
Solution
For $ | AB | = 0 ==> | A | · | B | = 0$
==> $| A | = 0, | B | = 0$
$AA^{-1} = I$ ==> $| A | · | A |^{-1} = | I | = 1$
==> $| A^{-1} | =$ $\frac{1}{{|A|}}$ $= | A |^{-1}$
