Answer

(a) A basis for the row space is, $$S=\left\{(1,0,0),(0,1,0),(0,0,1)\right\}.$$ (b) The rank of the matrix is $3$.

Work Step by Step

Given the matrix $$ \left[ \begin {array}{ccc} 1&2&0\\ -1&4&1 \\ 0&1&3\end {array} \right] . $$ The reduced row echelon form is given by $$ \left[ \begin {array}{ccc} 1&0&0\\ 0&1&0 \\ 0&0&1\end {array} \right] . $$ (a) A basis for the row space is, $$S=\left\{(1,0,0),(0,1,0),(0,0,1)\right\}.$$ (b) The rank of the matrix is $3$.
