Exercise FS.C61 Robert Beezer

Let $A$ be the matrix below, and find the indicated sets with the requested properties. \begin{equation*} A= \begin{bmatrix} 2 & -1 & 5 & -3\\ -5 & 3 & -12 & 7\\ 1 & 1 & 4 & -3 \end{bmatrix} \end{equation*}

  1. A linearly independent set $S$ so that $\csp{A}=\spn{S}$ and $S$ is composed of columns of $A$.
  2. A linearly independent set $S$ so that $\csp{A}=\spn{S}$ and the vectors in $S$ have a nice pattern of zeros and ones at the top of the vectors.
  3. A linearly independent set $S$ so that $\csp{A}=\spn{S}$ and the vectors in $S$ have a nice pattern of zeros and ones at the bottom of the vectors.
  4. A linearly independent set $S$ so that $\rsp{A}=\spn{S}$.
