Let a be a 5 × 4 matrix with a pivot in each column. is a invertible? why or why not?

Matrix A is not invertible.

Step-by-step explanation:

Invertible matrix are those matrix which are square matrix or non singular matrix.

For any matrix to be invertible, matrix should be non singular i.e. det(x) 0.

But for the question given above we cannot find determinant of matrix A as it is not square matrix. so inverse of given matrix does not exist. so it is not possible to have non trival solutions.

no association

step-by-step explanation:

if you have eyes and you can use them efficiently you can see that it just looks like random dots like do a line of best fit and like they're so spread out it's such a weak association you might as well consider it nonexistent
