3. Solutions are the same as PS 2-2 (problem #2; parts a, e, and f)

4. The identity matrix is a nxn unit matrix, where the main diagonal consists of 1s and the
remaining elements are 0s. It has the property that when the identity matrix is multiplied
by any matrix, the product is the non-identity matrix. Matrices are considered to be
inverses of each other if their product is the identity matrix.
