Answer:

a. No

b. Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

as we know the inverse of the matrix is A⁻¹ = (adjA)/det(A)

If the determinant of the matrix is 0 then the inverse of that matrix does not exists.

For first matrix the determinant is

|A| = [tex](-2*9)-(6*(-3))[/tex]

[tex]=-18-(-18)\\=-18 + 18\\=0[/tex]

Hence the inverse of this matrix does not exists.

|B| = [tex](-2*9)-(6*3)[/tex]

[tex]-36[/tex]

Since the determinant of the matrix in the second option is non-zero .Hence it's inverse exists.
