Math Problem Statement
Solution
The question in the image asks:
"Какая матрица имеет обратную?"
("Which matrix has an inverse?")
The options are:
- квадратная невырожденная (non-singular square)
- квадратная (square)
- ступенчатая (triangular)
- вырожденная (singular)
The correct answer is 1. квадратная невырожденная ("non-singular square").
A non-singular square matrix has an inverse, as it has a non-zero determinant. A singular matrix (option 4) does not have an inverse because its determinant is zero. Simply being square (option 2) doesn't guarantee invertibility, and a triangular matrix (option 3) is not necessarily invertible either unless it's also non-singular.
Would you like further details on matrix inverses or any other topic? Here are five related questions to expand on this:
- What is the determinant of a matrix and how does it relate to invertibility?
- How can we determine if a matrix is singular or non-singular?
- What is the process to find the inverse of a non-singular square matrix?
- What are triangular matrices and how do they differ from other matrix types?
- Can a non-square matrix ever have an inverse?
Tip: A matrix is invertible if and only if its determinant is non-zero and it is square.

Determinant of a matrix: det(A)
Inverse of a matrix: A^-1 = adj(A)/det(A) (if det(A) ≠ 0)
Theorems
A matrix is invertible if and only if it is non-singular (det(A) ≠ 0)
Singular matrices have no inverse (det(A) = 0)
