Answer:

Yes, it is invertible

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find in the matrix determinant is different from zero, since iif it is, that the matrix is invertible.

Let's use co-factor expansion to find the determinant of this 4x4 matrix, using the column that has more zeroes in it as the co-factor, so we reduce the number of determinant calculations for the obtained sub-matrices.We pick the first column for that since it has three zeros!

Then the determinant of this matrix becomes:

4\,*Det\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&4&6\\0&3&8\\0&0&1\end{array}\right] +0+0+0

And the determinant of these 3x3 matrix is very simple because most of the cross multiplications render zero:

Det\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&4&6\\0&3&8\\0&0&1\end{array}\right] =1 \,(3\,*\,1-0)+4\,(0-0)+6\,(0-0)=3

Therefore, the Det of the initial matrix is : 4 * 3 = 12

and then the matrix is invertible

What is the image of point (2,4) under<br> the<br> translation T-6,1?
maria [59]
I’ve never done this before but..
(2,4)
we translate x down -6 which would be -4.
we translate y up 1 which would be 5.
so i’m thinking the answer would be (-4,5)
