Suppose that A is an nxn invertible matrix. Prove the following statements: (a) If there exists an nxn matrix D such that AD=I_n then D=A^-1. (b) If B and C are matrices such that A(B-C)=0 (where 0 is a zero matrix of appropriate size), then B=C. Hint: Both of these are simplier to prove using matrix algebra rather than the definition of matrix multiplication. I_n is the identity matrix and A^-1 is A inverse matrix.
