  1. The matrices \(\mathbf { M } = \left( \begin{array} { c c c } 0 & 1 & a
    1 & b & 0 \end{array} \right)\) and \(\mathbf { N } = \left( \begin{array} { c c } b & - 5
    - 1 & c
    - 1 & 1 \end{array} \right)\) are such that \(\mathbf { M } \mathbf { N } = \mathbf { I }\).
    Find \(a , b\) and \(c\).
  2. State with a reason whether or not \(\mathbf { N }\) is the inverse of \(\mathbf { M }\).
