This is because the rank of a matrix is the number of linearly independent rows or columns in the matrix. In the image, each row represents a different sling diameter, and each column represents a different sling capacity rating. Since there are 4 non-zero entries in each column, the matrix has a rank of 4.

If A and B are any two matrices such that AB = 0 and A is non-singular, it implies that B must be the zero matrix. This is because if AB = 0, then B must be the zero matrix in order for the product to be zero. Therefore, the correct answer is (1) B = 0.

If a matrix has an inverse, it means that the matrix is non-singular or invertible. In other words, it is a square matrix with a non-zero determinant. A non-singular matrix has a unique solution for every system of linear equations it represents. Therefore, the values of (1), (2), and (4) cannot be true because they imply that the matrix may not have a unique solution. Only option (3) is correct, indicating that the matrix has an inverse.

If a matrix has an inverse, it means that the matrix is non-singular or invertible. In other words, it is a square matrix with a non-zero determinant. A non-singular matrix has a unique solution for every system of linear equations it represents. Therefore, the values of (1), (2), and (4) cannot be true because they imply that the matrix may not have a unique solution. Only option (3) is correct, indicating that the matrix has an inverse.

Any real number

If the rank of the matrix is 2, it means that the matrix has two linearly independent rows or columns. This implies that the matrix cannot be a square matrix, as a square matrix with rank 2 would have linearly dependent rows or columns. Therefore, the matrix must have more rows than columns or more columns than rows. In this case, the given matrix has 3 rows and 1 column, which means it has more rows than columns. Hence, the answer is 1.

The given system of equations is non-homogeneous, which means it has a non-zero constant term. When the determinant of the coefficient matrix is zero, the system has no solutions. In this case, the determinant is zero since the given values of a, b, and c satisfy the equation det(A) = 0. Therefore, the system has no solutions.

Explanation

The given system of equations is non-homogeneous, which means it has a non-zero constant term. When the determinant of the coefficient matrix is zero, the system has no solutions. In this case, the determinant is zero since the given values of a, b, and c satisfy the equation det(A) = 0. Therefore, the system has no solutions.

The system of equations has a non-trivial solution when the determinant of the coefficient matrix is equal to zero. In this case, the coefficient matrix is:
| a 1 1 |
| 1 b 1 |
| 1 1 c |
The determinant of this matrix is (abc + 2 - a - b - c). Since the system has a non-trivial solution, the determinant must be equal to zero. Therefore, the equation abc + 2 - a - b - c = 0 holds.

Explanation

The system of equations has a non-trivial solution when the determinant of the coefficient matrix is equal to zero. In this case, the coefficient matrix is:
| a 1 1 |
| 1 b 1 |
| 1 1 c |
The determinant of this matrix is (abc + 2 - a - b - c). Since the system has a non-trivial solution, the determinant must be equal to zero. Therefore, the equation abc + 2 - a - b - c = 0 holds.

18. If the equation -2x+y+z=l; x-2y+z=m; x+y-2z=n such that l+m+n=0, then the system has (1) a non-zero unique solution (2) trivial solution (3) Infinitely many solution (4) No solution

(4)

The given system of equations can be written in matrix form as AX = B, where A is the coefficient matrix, X is the variable matrix, and B is the constant matrix. In this case, A = [[-2, 1, 1], [1, -2, 1], [1, 1, -2]], X = [[x], [y], [z]], and B = [[l], [m], [n]].

To determine the number of solutions, we need to consider the determinant of A. If det(A) is non-zero, then the system has a unique solution. If det(A) is zero and B is not the zero matrix, then the system has no solution. If det(A) is zero and B is the zero matrix, then the system has infinitely many solutions.

In this case, we can calculate det(A) = -6 - 2 - 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 = -6. Since det(A) is non-zero, the system has a unique solution. Therefore, the answer is (1) a non-zero unique solution.

Explanation

The given system of equations can be written in matrix form as AX = B, where A is the coefficient matrix, X is the variable matrix, and B is the constant matrix. In this case, A = [[-2, 1, 1], [1, -2, 1], [1, 1, -2]], X = [[x], [y], [z]], and B = [[l], [m], [n]].

To determine the number of solutions, we need to consider the determinant of A. If det(A) is non-zero, then the system has a unique solution. If det(A) is zero and B is not the zero matrix, then the system has no solution. If det(A) is zero and B is the zero matrix, then the system has infinitely many solutions.

In this case, we can calculate det(A) = -6 - 2 - 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 = -6. Since det(A) is non-zero, the system has a unique solution. Therefore, the answer is (1) a non-zero unique solution.

If A is a scalar matrix with scalar λ, of order 3, then all the diagonal elements of A will be equal to λ and all the non-diagonal elements will be equal to 0. Therefore, the determinant of A will be equal to (λ * λ * λ) = λ^3. Since λ^3 is a scalar, the determinant of A is a scalar. Hence, the correct answer is (3).

Explanation

If A is a scalar matrix with scalar λ, of order 3, then all the diagonal elements of A will be equal to λ and all the non-diagonal elements will be equal to 0. Therefore, the determinant of A will be equal to (λ * λ * λ) = λ^3. Since λ^3 is a scalar, the determinant of A is a scalar. Hence, the correct answer is (3).
