Determine if the matrix below is invertible. Use as few calculations as possible. Justify your answer. 3 0 -4 2 0 6 -3 0 8 a. The matrix is invertible. The columns of the given matrix span R^3.
b. The matrix is not invertible. If the given matrix is A, the columns of A do not form a linearly independent set.
c. The matrix is invertible. The given matrix has 2 pivot positions.
d. The matrix is not invertible. If the given matrix is A, the equation Ax = 0 has only the trivial solution.

b. The matrix is not invertible. If the given matrix is A, the columns of A do not form a linearly independent set.

Step-by-step explanation:

A square matrix is said to be invertible if the product of the matrix and its inverse result into an identity matrix.

3  0 -4

2  0  6

-3 0  8

Since the second column elements are all zero, the determinant of the matrix is zero ad this implies that the inverse of the matrix does not exist(i.e it is not invertible )

she was supposed to add the hours(38.5) and multiply the amount of money she earned(7.50) resulting in $288.75 .

correct me if i'm wrong and if it is i'm truly sorry.
