031 Review Part 1, Problem 7

span class="exam">True or false: Let  Failed to parse (Conversion error. Server ("https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_") reported: "Cannot get mml. Server problem."): {\displaystyle C=AB}   for  $4\times 4$  matrices  $A$  and  $B.$  If  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle C}   is invertible, then  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle A}   is invertible.

Solution:
First, we switch to the limit to Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle x} so that we can use L'Hopital's rule.
So, we have
Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \begin{array}{rcl} \displaystyle{\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty}\frac{3-2x^2}{5x^2 + x +1}} & \overset{L'H}{=} & \displaystyle{\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty}\frac{-4x}{10x+1}}\\ &&\\ & \overset{L'H}{=} & \displaystyle{\frac{-4}{10}}\\ &&\\ & = & \displaystyle{-\frac{2}{5}}. \end{array}}

Final Answer:
False
