3.2. Applications of the Determ<strong>in</strong>ant 141<br />

Exercise 3.2.4 Let<br />

⎡<br />

A = ⎣<br />

1 2 3<br />

2 6 7<br />

Determ<strong>in</strong>e whether the matrix A has an <strong>in</strong>verse by f<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g whether the determ<strong>in</strong>ant is non zero. If the<br />

determ<strong>in</strong>ant is nonzero, f<strong>in</strong>d the <strong>in</strong>verse us<strong>in</strong>g the formula for the <strong>in</strong>verse.<br />

Exercise 3.2.5 Let<br />

⎡<br />

A = ⎣<br />

1 0 3<br />

3 1 0<br />

Determ<strong>in</strong>e whether the matrix A has an <strong>in</strong>verse by f<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g whether the determ<strong>in</strong>ant is non zero. If the<br />

determ<strong>in</strong>ant is nonzero, f<strong>in</strong>d the <strong>in</strong>verse us<strong>in</strong>g the formula for the <strong>in</strong>verse.<br />

Exercise 3.2.6 For the follow<strong>in</strong>g matrices, determ<strong>in</strong>e if they are <strong>in</strong>vertible. If so, use the formula for the<br />

<strong>in</strong>verse <strong>in</strong> terms of the cofactor matrix to f<strong>in</strong>d each <strong>in</strong>verse. If the <strong>in</strong>verse does not exist, expla<strong>in</strong> why.<br />

Exercise 3.2.7 Consider the matrix<br />

⎡<br />

A = ⎣<br />

1 0 0<br />

0 cost −s<strong>in</strong>t<br />

0 s<strong>in</strong>t cost<br />

⎤<br />

⎦<br />

Does there exist a value of t for which this matrix fails to have an <strong>in</strong>verse? Expla<strong>in</strong>.<br />

Exercise 3.2.8 Consider the matrix<br />

⎡<br />

A = ⎣ 1 t ⎤<br />

t2<br />

0 1 2t ⎦<br />

t 0 2<br />

Does there exist a value of t for which this matrix fails to have an <strong>in</strong>verse? Expla<strong>in</strong>.<br />

Exercise 3.2.9 Consider the matrix<br />

⎡<br />

A = ⎣<br />

e t cosht s<strong>in</strong>ht<br />
