(A) matrix $A$ is not invertible if and only if its determinant is zero,i.e.,$|A| = 0$. Given the matrix $A = \begin{bmatrix} a & -1 & 4 \\ -3 & 0 & 1 \\ -1 & 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}$. Calculating the determinant $|A|$: $|A| = a(0 \times 2 - 1 \times 1) - (-1)(-3 \times 2 - 1 \times (-1)) + 4(-3 \times 1 - 0 \times (-1)) = 0$ $|A| = a(0 - 1) + 1(-6 + 1) + 4(-3 - 0) = 0$ $|A| = a(-1) + 1(-5) + 4(-3) = 0$ $-a - 5 - 12 = 0$ $-a - 17 = 0$ $a = -17$. Thus,the matrix is not invertible when $a = -17$.
