**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**
