Suppose, M is a lower triangular matrix with all diagonal entries zero. The resultant matrix of M+I will be ___________ Correct Answer singular

Since, M is a lower triangular matrix with diagonal elements zero, then we add I and it will result in a lower triangular matrix with all diagonal entries 1. Thus, all eigenvalues M+I are non zero (eigenvalues of triangular matrix is the diagonal elements). So, determinant will never be zero. Hence, the matrix can have inverse property.
