Is it solvable?

Algebraic topology merges abstract algebra with topology: it uses algebraic structures - groups and rings - to help characterize topological spaces.

Business Cal, and yah I figured magician would come up with the answer, but I didn't want to rely just specifically on one person :-P.

Even while looking at his answer, I do think it's beyond what the teacher might be looking for :-P
what magician wrote isn't beyond the scope of your class.

do you know how to row reduce matrices?

after you row reduce, then you will need to come up with equations that represent the problem. the step by step form on how to do this can surely be found by searching "row reduction on matrices".

Yah I've figured out how to reduce matrices, but I still don't think it appropriate to just take magician's work if I don't understand it. I could possibly show the teacher magician's solution and show him how it works out though lol. Thanks all for y'all's help ;-).
