If A = [[e^t, e^(-t) cos t, e^(-t) sin t], [e^t, -e^(-t) cos t, -e^(-t) sin t], [e^t, 2e^(-t) sin t, -2e^(-t) cos t]] then A is:

  1. invertible only if t = π
  2. invertible for all t ∈ R
  3. invertible only if t = π/2
  4. not invertible for any t ∈ R

Correct answer: invertible for all t ∈ R

Solution

Computing the determinant gives det(A) = 4e^(-t), which is nonzero for every real t. Hence A is invertible for all t in R.
