The assertion is true.

Let A be an idempotent matrix. Then we have A.A=A. Since A is invertible, multiplying A-1 to both sides of the equality, we get A = I.

Is a singular matrix an indempotent matrix?

A singular matrix is a matrix that is not invertible. If a matrix is not invertible, then:• The determinant of the matrix is 0.• Any matrix multiplied by that matrix doesn't give the identity matrix.There are a lot of examples in which a singular matrix is an idempotent matrix. For instance:M =[1 1][0 0]Take the product of two M's to get the same M, the given!M x M = MSo yes, SOME singular matrices are idempotent matrices! How? Let's take a 2 by 2 identity matrix for instance.I =[1 0][0 1]I x I = I obviously.Then, that nonsingular matrix is also idempotent!Hope this helps!


What is an idempotent give examples of idempotent matrix.?

An idempotent is a matrix whose square is itself. Specifically, A^{2}=A. For example the 2x2 matrix A= 1 1 0 0 is idempotent.

What is idempotent matrix?

An idempotent matrix is a matrix which gives the same matrix if we multiply with the same. in simple words,square of the matrix is equal to the same matrix. if M is our matrix,then MM=M. then M is a idempotent matrix.


What is the definition of an idempotent matrix?

A square matrix A is idempotent if A^2 = A. It's really simple


Is idempotent matrix a square matrix?

A square matrix K is said to be idempotent if K2=K.So yes K is a square matrix


What is the determinant of an idempotent matrix?

0 or 1


If matrix a is invertible and a b is invertible and a 2b a 3b and a 4b are all invertible how can you prove that a 5b is also invertible?

What is "a 3b"? Is it a3b? or a+3b? 3ab? I think "a3b" is the following: A is an invertible matrix as is B, we also have that the matrices AB, A2B, A3B and A4B are all invertible, prove A5B is invertible. The problem is the sum of invertible matrices may not be invertible. Consider using the characteristic poly?


What is the Square root of a matrix?

The idempotent matrix is also called square root of a matrix. i.e.)A2=A


Define an indempotent matrix?

The phrase "idempotent matrix" is an algebraic term. It is defined as a matrix that equals itself when multiplied by itself.


Find a matrix A that is not invertible and b such that Ax equals b has a unique solution?

A matrix with a row or a column of zeros cannot have an inverse.Proof:Let A denote a matrix which has an entire row or column of zeros. If B is any matrix, then AB has an entire rows of zeros, or BA has an entire column of zeros. Thus, neither AB nor BA can be the identity matrix, so A cannot have an inverse, or A cannot be invertible.Since A is not invertible, then Ax = b has not a unique solution.


Let A be a 6by4 matrix and B a 4by6 matrix show that the 6by6 matrix AB can not be invertible?

It is not possible to show that since it is not necessarily true.There is absolutely nothing in the information that is given in the question which implies that AB is not invertible.
