1. In the homework due today, did you use something similar to the following critical analysis/reasoning?
    Multiply both sides of an equation by the inverse of a matrix
    Associativity to move the parenthesis
    Cancel A by using MatrixInverse(A)
    Reduce Identity

    a) Yes and I used it more than once
    b) Yes and I used it once
    c) No, although I used a similar reasoning
    d) No, I didn't use anything like it
    e) What homework?



  2. If A is an invertible nxn matrix, and x and b are nx1 vectors, then the matrix-vector equation Ax = b has a unique solution.
    a) True
    b) Always false
    c) Sometimes true and sometimes false



  3. If Ax = 0 vector, then is C(Ax) = 0C?
    a) Yes and I have a good reason why.
    b) Yes but I am unsure of why.
    c) No butI am unsure of why not.
    d) No andI have a good reason why not.



  4. If A is an invertible nxn matrix, where n>1, and x and b are 1xn vectors, then the matrix-vector equation Ax = b has a unique solution.
    a) True
    b) Always false
    c) Sometimes true and sometimes false



  5. If A is invertible and AB=AC then B=C sometimes but not always.
    a) True and I can explain why
    b) True but I am unsure of why
    c) False but I am unsure of why not
    d) False and I can explain why not



  6. If A is not invertible and AB=AC then B=C sometimes but not always.
    a) True and I can explain why
    b) True but I am unsure of why
    c) False but I am unsure of why not
    d) False and I can explain why not
