Show that ifab=iandac=i, then it follows that b=c. explain how this proves thatthe inverse of the matrix a is unique.

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that a matrix has two inverses B and C

It is given that AB=I and AC=I

We have to prove that Inverse of matrix is unique

It means B=C

We know that

B=BI where I is identity matrix of any order in which number of rows is equal to number of columns of matrix B.

B=B(AC)

B=(BA)C

Using associative property of matrix

A (BC)=(AB)C

B=IC

Using BA=I

We know that C=IC

Therefore, B=C

Hence, Matrix A has unique inverse .
