Answer

Assuming B is a square matrix, $\mathrm{X}=-\mathrm{B}^{-1}\mathrm{A}$ $\mathrm{Y}=\mathrm{B}^{-1}$ $\mathrm{C}=\mathrm{Z}$

Work Step by Step

$\left[\begin{array}{ll} \mathrm{A} & \mathrm{B}\\ \mathrm{C} & 0 \end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{ll} \mathrm{I} & 0\\ \mathrm{X} & \mathrm{Y} \end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ll} \mathrm{A}\mathrm{I}+\mathrm{B}\mathrm{X} & \mathrm{A}0+\mathrm{B}\mathrm{Y}\\ \mathrm{C}\mathrm{I}+0\mathrm{X} & \mathrm{C}0+0\mathrm{Y} \end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ll} \mathrm{A}+\mathrm{B}\mathrm{X} & \mathrm{B}\mathrm{Y}\\ \mathrm{C} & 0 \end{array}\right]$ $\left[\begin{array}{ll} \mathrm{A}+\mathrm{B}\mathrm{X} & \mathrm{B}\mathrm{Y}\\ \mathrm{C} & 0 \end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ll} 0 & \mathrm{I}\\ \mathrm{Z} & 0 \end{array}\right]\Rightarrow\left\{\begin{array}{ll} \mathrm{A}+\mathrm{B}\mathrm{X}=0 & (1,1)\\ \mathrm{B}\mathrm{Y}=\mathrm{I} & (1,2)\\ \mathrm{C}=\mathrm{Z} & (2,1)\\ 0=0 & (2,2) \end{array}\right.$ From $(1,2)$, assume that B and Y are square, so by the IMT (j and k), they are invertible, and $\mathrm{Y}=\mathrm{B}^{-1}$. Use this in (1,1) to express $\mathrm{X}$: $\mathrm{B}\mathrm{X}=-\mathrm{A}$ $\mathrm{B}^{-1}\mathrm{B}\mathrm{X}=\mathrm{B}^{-1}(-\mathrm{A})$ $\mathrm{X}=-\mathrm{B}^{-1}\mathrm{A}$
