Solution LI.C30 Robert Beezer
The requested set is described by Theorem BNS. It is easiest to find by using the procedure of Example VFSAL. Begin by row-reducing the matrix, viewing it as the coefficient matrix of a homogeneous system of equations. We obtain, \begin{equation*} \begin{bmatrix} \leading{1} & 0 & 1 & -2\\ 0 & \leading{1} & 1 & 1\\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix} \end{equation*} Now build the vector form of the solutions to this homogeneous system (Theorem VFSLS). The free variables are $x_3$ and $x_4$, due to the locations of the non-pivot columns, \begin{equation*} \colvector{x_1\\x_2\\x_3\\x_4}= x_3\colvector{-1\\-1\\1\\0}+ x_4\colvector{2\\-1\\0\\1} \end{equation*} The desired set $S$ is simply the constant vectors in this expression, and these are the vectors $\vect{z}_1$ and $\vect{z}_2$ described by Theorem BNS. \begin{equation*} S=\set{ \colvector{-1\\-1\\1\\0},\, \colvector{2\\-1\\0\\1} } \end{equation*}
