Let A be an invertible matrix. Which of the following is not true?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
We know that $(A^T)^{-1} = (A^{-1})^T$
So, option (1) is true.
In option (2), $A^{-1}$ is a matrix and $|A|^{-1}$ is a number.
So, it is not true.
Now,
$A^2 (A^{-1})^2=(AA) (A^{-1} A^{-1})$
$⇒A^2 (A^{-1})^2=A (AA^{-1}) A^{-1} = (AI) A^{-1}=AA^{-1} = I$
$∴(A^2)^{-1}=(A^{-1})^2$
So, option (3) is true.
