Which of the following is not a property of invertible matrices if A and B are matrices of the same order?(a) (AB)^-1=A^-1 B^-1(b) (AA^-1)=(A^-1 A)=I(c) (AB)^-1=B^-1 A^-1(d) AB=BA=II got this question in examination.I need to ask this question from Invertible Matrices in chapter Matrices of Mathematics – Class 12

Answer»

The correct answer is (a) (AB)^-1=A^-1 B^-1

Easiest EXPLANATION: (AB)^-1=A^-1 B^-1 is incorrect. The correct formula is (AB)^-1=B^-1 A^-1. B^-1 A^-1 ≠ A^-1 B^-1 as MATRIX multiplication is not COMMUTATIVE.
