Determine whether the statements that follow are true or false, and justify your answer: If A2=I2A^2 = I_2, then matrix AA must be either I2I_2 or I2-I_2.

Solution

Verified
Step 1
1 of 2

If

A=[1001]A=\begin{bmatrix} 1&0 \\ 0&-1 \end{bmatrix}

, then A2=I2A^2=I_2, but AA is neither I2I_2 nor I2-I_2.

Statement is false.
