Let A be an m x n matrix. Let C = (cij) be the m x m matrix which differs from the iden­tity only in that chh= λ ≠ 0. Let B be the m x m matrix which differs from the identity only in the kth column, in which bkk = 1.

a) Show that CA is obtained from A by multiplying the h th row by λ.

b) Show that BA is obtained from A by adding bjk times the kth row to the jth row for all j except k.

c) Show that B and C are nonsingular

Remark These results show that steps I and III of Section 1.10 are obtained by multiplying . left by a nonsingular matrix. The same assertion applies to step II (Problem 11 following Section 1.9).
