Math Problem Statement

Use the information about matrices and answer the questions about matrices.Does the equation AB = 0 necessarily yield A = 0 or B = 0?

  1. ForageneralmatrixA,canwesaythatAB=AC yieldsB=C?

  2. In general, does AB=BA, if A and B are both square?

  3. Fill the gap: if A is a matrix of size m×n, then its transpose AT is a matrix of size ....
