### Linear Algebra Problems

#### Problem 1
Let \( A \) be an \( n \) by \( n \) matrix.

**(a)** Show that \( \text{Nul}(A - I) \subseteq \text{Col}(A) \).

**(b)** If \( A^2 = A \) holds, prove that \( \text{Col}(A) = \text{Nul}(A - I) \).

#### Problem 2
Let \( A \) and \( B \) be \( n \) by \( n \) matrices. If \( A \) is invertible and \( AB \) is diagonalizable, prove that \( BA \) is also diagonalizable.
