Question: Given the matrix (a) Solve |A| = 0 for real a, (b)If a = 2, find A 1 and hence solve (c)if a = 0,

Given the matrix

A = 1 a |-1 a -2 1 -1 2 a


(a) Solve |A| = 0 for real a,

(b) If a = 2, find A–1 and hence solve

X Ay = 0 [2] Z

(c) if a = 0, find the general solution of

X Ay 0 Z

(d) if a = 1, show that

X X Ay=2|y| N Z

can be solved for non-zero x, y and z.
