The correct Answer is:
To find the value of \( a \) for which the inverse of the matrix \( A \) exists, we need to ensure that the determinant of \( A \) is not equal to zero. The matrix \( A \) is given as: \[ A = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & a & -3 \\ 0 & 2 & 5 \\ 1 & 1 & 3 \end{bmatrix} \] ### Step 1: Calculate the Determinant of Matrix A We will calculate the determinant of \( A \) using the formula for the determinant of a \( 3 \times 3 \) matrix: \[ \text{det}(A) = a_{11}(a_{22}a_{33} - a_{23}a_{32}) - a_{12}(a_{21}a_{33} - a_{23}a_{31}) + a_{13}(a_{21}a_{32} - a_{22}a_{31}) \] Substituting the values from matrix \( A \): \[ \text{det}(A) = 2 \cdot (2 \cdot 3 - 5 \cdot 1) - a \cdot (0 \cdot 3 - 5 \cdot 1) - 3 \cdot (0 \cdot 1 - 2 \cdot 1) \] Calculating each term: 1. \( 2 \cdot (6 - 5) = 2 \cdot 1 = 2 \) 2. \( -a \cdot (0 - 5) = 5a \) 3. \( -3 \cdot (0 - 2) = 6 \) Putting it all together: \[ \text{det}(A) = 2 + 5a + 6 = 5a + 8 \] ### Step 2: Set the Determinant Not Equal to Zero For the inverse of \( A \) to exist, we need: \[ \text{det}(A) \neq 0 \] Thus, we set up the inequality: \[ 5a + 8 \neq 0 \] ### Step 3: Solve for \( a \) Now we solve for \( a \): \[ 5a \neq -8 \] Dividing both sides by 5: \[ a \neq -\frac{8}{5} \] ### Conclusion The value of \( a \) for which \( A^{-1} \) exists is any real number except \( -\frac{8}{5} \). ### Final Answer \[ a \in \mathbb{R} \setminus \left\{-\frac{8}{5}\right\} \]
