    Step-by-step explanation:

    Since AB=I, we have

    det (A) det (B) = det (AB) = det (I) = 1.

    This implies that the determinants det (A) and det (B) are not zero.

    Hence A, B are invertible matrices: A-1, B-1 exist.

    Now we compute

    I=BB-1=BIB-1=B (AB) B-1=BAI=BA. since AB=I

    Hence we obtain BA=I.

    Since AB=I and BA=I, we conclude that B=A-1.
