Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. The matrix given is a 2x2 matrix.
2. The determinant of a 2x2 matrix [abcd]\left[\begin{array}{cc} a & b \\ c & d \end{array}\right] is calculated as adbcad - bc.
3. A matrix has an inverse if and only if its determinant is non-zero.

STEP 2

1. Calculate the determinant of the matrix.
2. Determine if the matrix has an inverse based on the determinant.

STEP 3

Identify the elements of the matrix:
Matrix=[623010]\text{Matrix} = \left[\begin{array}{cc} 6 & -2 \\ -30 & 10 \end{array}\right]
Here, a=6a = 6, b=2b = -2, c=30c = -30, and d=10d = 10.

STEP 4

Calculate the determinant using the formula adbcad - bc:
Determinant=(6)(10)(2)(30)\text{Determinant} = (6)(10) - (-2)(-30) =6060= 60 - 60 =0= 0

STEP 5

Determine if the matrix has an inverse. Since the determinant is zero, the matrix does not have an inverse.
The determinant of the matrix is 00.
Part 2 Answer: B. No
