Let M be a 2 x 2 symmetric matrix with integer entries. Then M is invertible if (a)The first column of M is the transpose of the second row of M (b)The second row of Mis the transpose of the first olumn of M (c) M is a diagonal matrix with non-zero entries in the main diagonal (d)The product of entries in the main diagonal of Mis not the square of an integer

Answer» `M->2*2` symmetric matrix
`M=M^T`
Suppose`M=[[a,b],[c,d]]`
`[[a,b],[c,d]]=[[a,c],[b,d]]`
`b=c`
Our matrix M=`[[a,b],[b,d]]`
`[[a],[b]]^T=[[b,d]]`
`[[a,b]]=[[b,d]]`
`a=b,b=d`
`a=b=d`
`M=[[a,a],[a,a]]`
`|M|=0`
`[[b,d]]^T=[[a],[b]]`
`a=b=-d`
c)`[[a,0],[0,d]]`
`|M|=>ad-0`
`|M|!=0`
Therefore,M is invertible matrix
d)`M=[[a,b],[b,d]]`
`|M|=ad-b^2`
`|M|!=0`
M is an invertible matricx
Option C and D is correct.
