Consider a square matrix A such that Ker(A2 ) = Ker(A3 ). Is Ker(A3 ) = Ker(A4 ). Explain your reasoning.
Let A be a square matrix such that
.
Let
.
Then,
[matrix multiplication isassociative]
.
Then,
So,
Now, let
.
Then,
[matrix multiplication isassociative]
.
Since
and
, then
[matrix multiplication isassociative]
.
Then,
So,
So, from (1) and (2),
.
