(a) Define an identity matrix of order nn. (b) Let A=[aij]n×nA=[a_{ij}]_{n\times n} be any square matrix of order nn. Prove that InA=A=AInI_nA=A=AI_n. (c) Explain, with reference to matrix multiplication rules, why post-multiplying or pre-multiplying any m×nm\times n matrix by a suitably sized identity matrix does not change either its elements or its order.
