Without actually finding the inverse, determine if each matrix below has an inverse or not. Please explain each answer.
![### Matrices in Linear Algebra
#### Example Matrices
The following are examples of matrices typically used in linear algebra.
**a)**
\[
\begin{bmatrix}
5 & -2 & 10 & 3 \\
3 & 4 & 8 & -6 \\
2 & -4 & 3 & 6 \\
0 & -6 & 0 & 9 \\
\end{bmatrix}
\]
- This is a 4x4 matrix with varied positive and negative integers.
**b)**
\[
\begin{bmatrix}
-6 & 7 & 1 & 4 \\
0 & 5 & 0 & 2 \\
0 & 0 & -1 & 1 \\
0 & 0 & 7 & 8 \\
\end{bmatrix}
\]
- This is another 4x4 matrix. The structure shows that the lower left part of the matrix is mostly filled with zeros, which suggests a possible upper triangular form.
**c)** Matrix \( A \)
\[
A =
\begin{bmatrix}
1 & -5 & -4 \\
0 & 3 & 4 \\
-3 & 6 & 0 \\
\end{bmatrix}
\]
- This is a 3x3 matrix. Each row contains both positive and negative integers.
These matrices can be used to illustrate various operations and properties in linear algebra, such as addition, multiplication, determinants, and solving systems of linear equations.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F2432691a-c29a-4a02-b85a-93b716867369%2F7e580d3d-a966-49ae-988b-c5d02b4ed2d1%2Ftz2s1q8_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)

Expert Solution

Step 1: Problem(a)
Given matrix is
convert the above matrix into echelon form by using row operators
The rank of the above matrix = Number of non zero rows in echelon form = 3
Rank < order or the matrix (4 x 4 )
hence the given matrix is singular ( det = 0 ), hence inverse matrix is not exist.
