6. $$\mathbf { A } = \left( \begin{array} { r r } 2 & 1
- 1 & 0 \end{array} \right) \text { and } \mathbf { B } = \left( \begin{array} { r r } - 1 & 1
0 & 1 \end{array} \right)$$ Given that \(\mathbf { M } = ( \mathbf { A } + \mathbf { B } ) ( 2 \mathbf { A } - \mathbf { B } )\),
  1. calculate the matrix \(\mathbf { M }\),
  2. find the matrix \(\mathbf { C }\) such that \(\mathbf { M C } = \mathbf { A }\).
