(i) State the condition for a square matrix to be singular or non-singular in terms of its determinant. (ii) Consider the matrix A=(246123369).A=\begin{pmatrix}2 &4 &6\\ 1 &2 &3\\ 3 &6 &9\end{pmatrix}. Show that AA is singular without evaluating its determinant by full expansion. (iii) Verify your answer to part (ii) by calculating det⁡(A)\det(A) directly.
