Expert Solution
Step 1

a. If A is 3*20 matrix then in equation form we have 3 equation and 20 unknown. Given that 3 pivot elements so we can say that 20-3=17 unknown are independent. If any unknown is independent then Ax=0 has a non trivial solution. 

So, here 17 unknown are independent then this system have a non trivial solution.

So this is true.
