Final answer:

To find matrix b such that [1, 3, 2; 3, 4, 0; -1, 1, b] = [-1, 0], simply set up a system of equations by equating the corresponding elements and solve for b. In this case, b = 1/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find matrix b such that [1, 3, 2; 3, 4, 0; -1, 1, b] = [-1, 0], we can set up a system of equations by equating the corresponding elements:

1 + 3b = -1

2 + 4b = 0

-1 + b = 0

Solving this system of equations, we find that b = 1/3. Therefore, the matrix b is [1, 3, 2; 3, 4, 0; -1, 1, 1/3].
