Multiple Choice

Find the inverse, if it exists, for the matrix.
- $\left[ \begin{array} { r r r r } 0 & 5 & 0 & - 2 \\ 6 & 15 & - 3 & - 4 \\ 12 & 10 & - 6 & - 2 \\ 18 & 0 & - 6 & 0 \end{array} \right]$

• A)
• \(\left[ \begin{array} { r r r r } - \frac { 1 } { 3 } & - \frac { 3 } { 5 } & - 1 & - 2 \\ \frac { 1 } { 3 } & \frac { 2 } { 5 } & 1 & \frac { 1 } { 2 } \\ - \frac { 1 } { 3 } & - \frac { 1 } { 5 } & - 1 & - \frac { 1 } { 2 } \\ \frac { 1 } { 6 } & 0 & \frac { 1 } { 3 } & 0 \end{array} \right]\)
• B)
• \[\left[ \begin{array} { c c c c }
• \frac { 1 } { 3 } & - \frac { 1 } { 3 } & \frac { 1 } { 3 } & - \frac { 1 } { 6 } \\
• \frac { 3 } { 5 } & - \frac { 2 } { 5 } & \frac { 1 } { 5 } & 0 \\
• 1 & - 1 & 1 & \frac { 1 } { 3 } \\
