In Exercises 1–2, classify the matrix as upper triangular, lower triangular, or diagonal, and decide by inspection whether the matrix is invertible. Recall that a diagonal matrix is both upper and lower triangular, so there may be more than one answer in some parts. \(\text { a. }\left[\begin{array}{ll} 2 & 1 \\ 0 & 3 \end{array}\right]\) \(\text { b. }\left[\begin{array}{ll} 0 & 0 \\ 4 & 0 \end{array}\right]\) \(\text { C. }\left[\begin{array}{lll} -1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 2 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{array}\right]\) \(\text { d. }\left[\begin{array}{lll} 3 & -2 & 7 \\ 0 & 0 & 3 \\ 0 & 0 & 8 \end{array}\right]\) Equation Transcription: Text Transcription: a.
