For each of the following statements, select whether the statement is true or false for all n × n matrices A, B , C. (Note that you are being asked whether the statement is true or false for all n × n matrices A, B, C, not just for some A, B, C.)
1. (2 A - 8 B)(2 A + 8 B) = 4 A^2 - 64 B^2
2. A(2 I - 8 BA) = (2 I - 8 AB)A
3. A ≠ 0 and AB = A ⇒ B = I
4. (-2 I + AA^T)^ T = -2 I + AA^T
I think the answer is 1-true, 2-false, 3-true, 4-false.
Is it correct or wrong.

1. This appears to require commutativity.
2. Check associativity.
3. What if A doesn't have an inverse?
4. Be careful with transpositions. |
