Exercise CRS.C20 Chris Black

For each matrix below, find a set of linearly independent vectors $X$ so that $\spn{X}$ equals the column space of the matrix, and a set of linearly independent vectors $Y$ so that $\spn{Y}$ equals the row space of the matrix. \begin{align*}A&=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 3 & 1 \\ 0 & 1 & 1 & 2\\ 1 & -1 & 2 & 3 \\ 1 & 1 & 2 & -1 \end{bmatrix}&B&=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 3 & 2 & -1 & 4 & 5\\ 0 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}&C&=\begin{bmatrix} 2 & 1 & 0 \\ 3 & 0 & 3\\ 1 & 2 & -3 \\ 1 & 1 & -1 \\ 1 & 1 & -1\end{bmatrix}\end{align*} From your results for these three matrices, can you formulate a conjecture about the sets $X$ and $Y$?
