**Problem 1: True/False Question**
Determine whether the following statement is true or false:
The matrix \( A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 \\ 2 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \) is invertible.
**Explanation:**
A matrix is invertible if its determinant is non-zero. Calculate the determinant of matrix \( A \) to see if it meets this condition.
---
**Problem 2: Vector Space and Kernel**
Find vectors that span the kernel of the matrix:
\[ A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 2 \\ 1 & 3 \end{bmatrix} \]
**Explanation:**
To find the kernel of the matrix \( A \), solve the equation \( A\mathbf{x} = \mathbf{0} \), where \( \mathbf{x} \) is a vector. The solution set will provide the vectors that span the kernel.
