Question
Let A = 
, then A-1 exists if
, then A-1 exists ifOptions
A.x ≠ 0
B.λ ≠ 0
C.3x + λ ≠ 0, λ ≠ 0
D.x ≠ 0, λ ≠ 0
Solution
A = 
|A| = (3x + λ)
by R2 → R2 - R1, R3 → R3 - R1
= (3x + λ)
= (3x + λ) (λ2)
|A| ≠ 0 for non-singular matrix
∴ 3x + λ ≠ 0, λ ≠ 0
|A| = (3x + λ)
by R2 → R2 - R1, R3 → R3 - R1
= (3x + λ)
= (3x + λ) (λ2)|A| ≠ 0 for non-singular matrix
∴ 3x + λ ≠ 0, λ ≠ 0
