For matrices A ∈ Rn×n and B ∈ Rn×p, prove each of the following
statements:
(a) rank(AB) = rank(A) and R(AB) = R(A) if rank(B) = n.
(b) rank(AB) = rank(B) and N (AB) = N (B) if rank(A) = n.
Prove that if A and B are 2x2 matrices, then (A + B)^(2) = A^(2)
+ AB + BA + B^(2). Hint: Write out 2x2 matrices for A and B using
variable entries in each location and perform the operations on
either side of the equation to determine whether the two sides are
equivalent.
Prove the following statements!
1. If A and B are sets then
(a) |A ∪ B| = |A| + |B| − |A ∩ B| and
(b) |A × B| = |A||B|.
2. If the function f : A→B is
(a) injective then |A| ≤ |B|.
(b) surjective then |A| ≥ |B|.
3. For each part below, there is a function f : R→R that is
(a) injective and surjective.
(b) injective but not surjective.
(c) surjective but not injective.
