Problem 4SE: Can a matrix with an entire column of zeros have an inverse? Explain why or why not.
Question
The image contains two matrices, [B] and [A], along with an expression for a matrix operation.

Matrix [B] is a 5x2 matrix:
\[
[B] = \begin{bmatrix}
0 & -8 \\
10 & -3 \\
8 & -9 \\
-10 & 6 \\
-1 & -2 \\
\end{bmatrix}
\]

Matrix [A] is also a 5x2 matrix:
\[
[A] = \begin{bmatrix}
7 & 9 \\
6 & 5 \\
10 & 1 \\
-7 & -1 \\
-8 & -6 \\
\end{bmatrix}
\]

The expression provided is for calculating \( 4[B] + 3[A] \). There is a blank 5x2 matrix template shown for the result.

To solve \( 4[B] + 3[A] \), multiply each entry of matrix [B] by 4 and each entry of matrix [A] by 3, then add the resulting matrices together.

The steps to compute one element \( (i, j) \) of the resulting matrix are: 
\[ (4 \times B_{ij}) + (3 \times A_{ij}) \]

For example, the first element is calculated as:
\[ (4 \times 0) + (3 \times 7) = 0 + 21 = 21\]

Continue this process for each element to fill the blank matrix.
