Work Step by Step

a) We obtain $\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1 & 2 & 3\\ 1 & 1 & -2 & 6\\ 3 & 1 & 4 & 2 \end{bmatrix}\approx \begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1 & 2 & 3\\ 0 & 2 & -4 & 3\\ 0 & 4 & -2 & -7 \end{bmatrix} \approx \begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1 & 2 & 3\\ 0 & 2 & -4 & 3\\ 0 & 0 & 6 & -13 \end{bmatrix} \approx \begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1 & 2 & 3\\ 0 & 1 & -2 & \frac{3}{2}\\ 0 & 0 & 1 & -\frac{13}{6} \end{bmatrix} $ Since $n=4$, the basic for row space $A$ is $\{(1,-1,2,3);(0,2,-4,3);(0,0,6,-13)\}$ b) We notice that the first, second and third columns are independent. Since $m=3$ the basic for colspace $A$ is $\{1,1,3);(-1,1,1);(2,-2,4)\}$
