Answer:

B.The matrix is invertible because the determinant is defined.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Definition:</u> A matrix is invertible if the determinant is not equal to zero.

Given the matrix:

A=\left(\begin{array}{ccc}20&5&3\\4&-15&6\\0&25&-9\end{array}\right)

The determinant of the matrix:

|A|=20\left|\begin{array}{ccc}-15&6\\25&-9\end{array}\right|-5\left|\begin{array}{ccc}4&6\\0&-9\end{array}\right|+3\left|\begin{array}{ccc}4&-15\\0&25\end{array}\right|

|A|=20(-15*-9-25*6)-5(-9*4-6*0)+3(4*25-0*-15)\\=20(135-150)-5(-36-0)+3(100+0)\\=20(-15)-5(-36)+3(100)\\=-300+180+300\\|A|=180

Since the determinant, |A|\neq 0, the matrix is invertible because the determinant is defined.
