### Advanced Matrix Theory Problems

Welcome to our educational portal on advanced matrix theory. Below, you'll find a series of problems designed to deepen your understanding of matrix algebra, invertibility, and specific matrix properties. Follow along to challenge your knowledge and enhance your mathematical skills.

#### Problem Set

**43.**
**a.** Show that if \( A \) is invertible and \( AB = AC \), then \( B = C \).

**b.** Explain why part (a) and Example 3 do not contradict one another.

**44.** Show that if \( A \) is invertible and \( k \) is any nonzero scalar, then \( (kA)^n = k^n A^n \) for all integer values of \( n \).

**45.**
**a.** Show that if \( A, B,\) and \( A + B \) are invertible matrices with the same size, then 
\[ A(A^{-1} + B^{-1})B(A + B)^{-1} = I. \]

**b.** What does the result in part (a) tell you about the matrix \( A^{-1} + B^{-1} \)?

**46.** A square matrix \( A \) is said to be **idempotent** if \( A^2 = A \).

**a.** Show that if \( A \) is idempotent, then so is \( I - A \).

**b.** Show that if \( A \) is idempotent, then \( 2A - I \) is invertible and its own inverse.

**47.** Show that if \( A \) is a square matrix such that \( A^k = 0 \) for some positive integer \( k \), then the matrix \( I - A \) is invertible and 
\[ (I - A)^{-1} = I + A + A^2 + \cdots + A^{k-1}. \]

**48.** Show that the matrix
\[ A = \begin{bmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{bmatrix} \]
satisfies the equation 
\[ A^2 - (a + d)A + (ad - bc)I = 0. \]

**49.** Assuming that all matrices are \( n \times n \) and invertible, solve for \( D
