For this exercise assume that the matrices are all n×n. The statement in this exercise is an implication of the form "if "statement 1", then "statement 2" . Mark an implication as True if the truth of "statement 2" always follows whenever "statement 1 " happens to be true. Mark the implication as False if "statement 2 " is false but "statement 1 " is true. Justify your answer. If there is an n×n matrix D such that AD=I, then there is also an n×n matrix C such that CA=1. Choose the correct answer below. A. The statement is true. By the invertible Matrix Theorem, if AD=I then A,D, or both is/are the identity matrix. Therefore, CA=1. B. The statement is false. It does not follow from the invertble Matrix Theorem that if AD=1, then CA=1. C. The statement is true. By the Invertible Matrix Theorem, if there is an n×n matrix D such that AD=I, then it must be true that there is also an n×n matrix C such that CA=1. D. The statement is false. Matrix multiplication is not commutative. It is possible that only D (and not A) is invertible in the equation AD=1. This implies that CA=I is only true when C is invertible (for cases where A is not invertible), but it is not given that C is invertible.
