For any 3×3 matrix M, let |M| denote the determinant of M. Let I be the 3×3 identity matrix. Let E and F be two 3×3 matrices such that (I-EF) is invertible. If G=(I-EF)-1, then which of the following statements is (are) TRUE ?
  1. |FE|=|I-FE||FGE|
  2. (I-FE)(I+FGE)=I
  3. EFG=GEF
  4. (I-FE)(I-FGE)=I

Solution

(A) G=(I-EF)-1

FGE=F(I-EF)-1E

=E-1(I-EF)F-1-1

FGE=E-1 F-1-I-1

|FGE|·E-1 F-1-I=1

|FGE|·E-1 F-1-I|FE|=|FE|

|FGE||I-FE|=|FE|

(B) & (D) (I-FE)·(I+FGE)

=I+FGE-FE-FE·FGE=0

=I+FGE-FE-F(G-I)E

=I+FGE-FE-FGE+FE=I

(C) (I-EF)G=I=G(I-EFG)

G-EFG=I=G-GEF

EFG=GEF
