6.* Suppose that A = [aj] is a 3 x 3 matrix whose entries are equal to either 0, 1, or 2, namely aij e {0,1, 2} for every i, j e {1,2, 3}. Suppose that A is invertible, and write A- = [b;]. Explain why, for i,je {1,2,3}, b;j is a rational number of the form k/2' or –k/2' for some positive integers k, l (depending on i, j).

6.* Suppose that A = [aj] is a 3 x 3 matrix whose entries are equal to either
0, 1, or 2, namely aij e {0,1, 2} for every i, j e {1,2,3}. Suppose that A
is invertible, and write A-1 = [bj]. Explain why, for i,j e {1,2,3}, bij is
a rational number of the form k/2' or -k/2' for some positive integers k, l
(depending on i, j).
