Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 0

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Coefficient matrix: \(A = \begin{pmatrix} 2 & 1 & -1 \\ 1 & -3 & 2 \\ 1 & 4 & -3 \end{pmatrix}\) \(det(A) = 2((-3)(-3) - (2)(4)) - 1((1)(-3) - (2)(1)) + (-1)((1)(4) - (-3)(1))\) \(det(A) = 2(9-8) - 1(-3-2) - 1(4+3)\) \(det(A) = 2(1) - 1(-5) - 1(7)\) \(det(A) = 2 + 5 - 7 = 0\)…
