Worksheet 4

  1. Use Gaussian Elimination to determine if the following matrix is invertible. If so, determine the inverse. \(\begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 & 1 \\ 1 & -1 & 1 \\ 0 & 1 & 1 \end{pmatrix}\)

  2. Use Gaussian Elimination to determine if the following matrix is invertible. If so, determine the inverse. \(\begin{pmatrix} 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 4 & 5 & 6 \\ 7 & 8 & 9 \end{pmatrix}\)

  3. Determine which the following statements are true and which are false:

    • If a matrix is invertible, it has to be diagonal.
    • Diagonal matrices are invertible.
    • If $A$ has a zero column, it is not invertible.
