![**Matrix Invertibility**
---
**Problem Statement:**
Determine whether the matrix is invertible.
\[
\begin{pmatrix}
9 & 5 & -9 \\
4 & 2 & -4 \\
-3 & 0 & 3
\end{pmatrix}
\]
To determine whether the given matrix is invertible, we need to check if its determinant is non-zero. If the determinant is non-zero, the matrix is invertible; otherwise, it is not.
To find the determinant of a 3x3 matrix \(\mathbf{A}\) given as:
\[
\mathbf{A} = \begin{pmatrix}
a & b & c \\
d & e & f \\
g & h & i \\
\end{pmatrix}
\]
The determinant (\(\det(\mathbf{A})\)) is calculated as follows:
\[
\det(\mathbf{A}) = a(ei - fh) - b(di - fg) + c(dh - eg)
\]
For the given matrix:
\[
\mathbf{A} = \begin{pmatrix}
9 & 5 & -9 \\
4 & 2 & -4 \\
-3 & 0 & 3 \\
\end{pmatrix}
\]
Let \(a = 9\), \(b = 5\), \(c = -9\), \(d = 4\), \(e = 2\), \(f = -4\), \(g = -3\), \(h = 0\), \(i = 3\).
Plug these values into the determinant formula:
\[
\det(\mathbf{A}) = 9(2*3 - (-4)*0) - 5(4*3 - (-3)*(-4)) + (-9)(4*0 - (-3)*2)
\]
Simplifying each term:
\[
= 9(6 - 0) - 5(12 - 12) - 9(0 + 6)
\]
\[
= 9 \cdot 6 - 5 \cdot 0 - 9 \cdot 6
\]
\[
= 54 - 0 - 54
\]
\[
= 0
\]
Since \(\det(\mathbf{A}) = 0\), the matrix is **not**](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F2e51c4f9-7707-4851-92b0-3f7eb5342ba2%2F77c2dbfc-5f6d-4eaa-bbe0-c60ec0bd2b47%2Fqw8eqm_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
