4. $$\mathbf { M } = \left( \begin{array} { r r r } 1 & k & 0
- 1 & 1 & 1
1 & k & 3 \end{array} \right) , \text { where } k \text { is a constant }$$
  1. Find \(\mathbf { M } ^ { - 1 }\) in terms of \(k\). Hence, given that \(k = 0\)
  2. find the matrix \(\mathbf { N }\) such that $$\mathbf { M N } = \left( \begin{array} { r r r } 3 & 5 & 6
    4 & - 1 & 1
    3 & 2 & - 3 \end{array} \right)$$
