Calculate AB and BA. Both products must be defined and equal $I_{n}$.

Work Step by Step

See definition on p.829: Let A be an $\mathrm{n}\times \mathrm{n}$ square matrix. If there is a square matrix $B$ such that $AB=I_{n}$ and $BA=I_{n},$ then $B$ is the multiplicative inverse of $A$. ---------- Calculate AB and BA. Both products must be defined and equal $I_{n}$.
