Find x and y if \(\begin{pmatrix}x&0\\0&y\end{pmatrix}\) is the \(2\times 2\) identity matrix.
Question 9
***
For \(A=\begin{pmatrix}1&-2\\0&3\end{pmatrix}\) and \(B=\begin{pmatrix}4&5\\-1&2\end{pmatrix}\), simplify \(A0\) + BI_2, where 0 is the \(2\times 2\) zero matrix.
Question 10
***+
A student says the zero matrix and identity matrix are the same because both are special square matrices. Diagnose the error using \(2\times 2\) examples.
