Answer

$a.\quad $True $b.\quad $True $c.\quad $True $d.\quad $False $e.\quad $True

Work Step by Step

We compare the statements with equivalent statements (a) to (l) of Theorem 8 and rewrite each. When we write If (x) is true... we mean If statement (x) in Th.8 is true ... $a.\quad $ If (k) is true then (j) is true ... TRUE $b.\quad $ If (e) is true then (h) is true ... TRUE $c.\quad $ If (g) is true then (f) is true ... if $x \mapsto b$, b is unique because Ax is one-to-one. TRUE $d.\quad $ Ax mapping into $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ means that its image is not necessarily the whole $\mathbb{R}^{n}$, so this statement says: If (i) is not necessarily true, then (c) is true. Since (c) and (i) are equivalent, this statement is FALSE $e.\quad $ If there is a $\mathrm{b}$ in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ such that the equation $A\mathrm{x} =\mathrm{b}$ is inconsistent, then (g) is false. The statement reads: If (g) is not true then (f) is not true ... TRUE
