Math Problem Statement

The image contains a set of linear algebra problems involving matrices, including matrix inversion and solving systems of linear equations.

Solution

The image contains some linear algebra problems involving matrices. Let's break down the key questions and solve them:

  1. Question 7 asks about the inverse of a matrix:

    • The given matrix DD is: 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 2024 \end{pmatrix}$$
    • For a matrix to have an inverse, its determinant must be non-zero. The determinant of matrix DD is 0×20240×0=00 \times 2024 - 0 \times 0 = 0. Since the determinant is zero, matrix DD is singular, meaning it does not have an inverse.
  2. Question 8 involves solving a system of linear equations using matrix representation:

    • The matrix system is given as: 1 & 2 & -1 \\ 2 & -1 & 1 \\ -1 & 1 & 1 \\ \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \\ z \\ \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 4 \\ 0 \\ 1 \\ \end{pmatrix}$$
    • To solve this, we can use methods like Gaussian elimination or matrix inversion if the coefficient matrix is invertible.
    • Calculating the determinant of the coefficient matrix: [ \text{det} = 1(-1 \cdot 1 -
