Exercise 104

Avg difficulty 2.5

Suppose a,b,ca, b, c are nonzero numbers. Let M=[a00b]M=\left[ \begin{smallmatrix} a & 0 \\ 0 & b \end{smallmatrix}\right], N=[a000b000c]N=\left[ \begin{smallmatrix} a & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & b & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & c \end{smallmatrix}\right].

  1. Compute M−1M^{-1}.
  2. Compute N−1N^{-1}.
