linear algebra - Is there always a mapping from invertible A to any BinMn(BbbR)?





Let A,B be n×n matrices, then
1) If A is invertible then for every B exists a matrix XMn(R) such that AX=B.
2) If for every B there exists a matrix XMn(R) such that AX=B then A is invertible.




For 1) I started with: AX=BX=A1B



But I'm not sure I can do this:
A(A1B)=B
(AA1)B=B --> not sure about this
IB=B



Am I right about the first part?




How should I prove the second part? thanks


Answer



The steps A(A1B)=(AA1)B=IB=B are okay because matrix multiplication is associative.



For the second part choose B=I. Now there exist X s.t. AX=I, so A is invertible.
