Let's work through each question from the uploaded exam document.

### Problem 3 Solutions

Given matrix \( A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 4 & 0 & 12 & 4 \\ -1 & 0 & 0 & 3 & 1 \\ 0 & 2 & 0 & 4 & 2 \end{bmatrix} \), we have the following tasks:

#### (a) Find a basis for Col A (Column Space of A)

To find a basis for the column space of \( A \), we must determine the columns of \( A \) that are linearly independent. We do this by row reducing \( A \) to its echelon form and identifying the pivot columns. The columns in \( A \) corresponding to the pivots will form a basis for the column space.

1. Perform row reduction on \( A \) to reach an echelon form.
2. Identify the pivot columns and use them as a basis.

#### (b) Find a basis for Nul A (Null Space of A)

To find a basis for the null space of \( A \), solve \( A\mathbf{x} = 0 \):

1. Set up the system \( A\mathbf{x} = 0 \) and row-reduce \( A \) to find the solutions.
2. The free variables will determine the basis vectors for the null space.

#### (c) Find a basis for Row A (Row Space of A)

The row space of \( A \) is spanned by the linearly independent rows of \( A \). 

1. Row-reduce \( A \) to echelon form.
2. The non-zero rows in the echelon form of \( A \) will form a basis for the row space.

#### (d) Find a different basis for Col A that includes \( \begin{bmatrix} 2 \\ 4 \\ -1 \\ 2 \end{bmatrix} \) as one of the basis vectors.

To incorporate \( \begin{bmatrix} 2 \\ 4 \\ -1 \\ 2 \end{bmatrix} \) into the basis for Col A:

1. Verify if \( \begin{bmatrix} 2 \\ 4 \\ -1 \\ 2 \end{bmatrix} \) is in Col A by expressing it as a linear combination of the columns of \( A \).
2. Construct a new basis by including \( \begin{bmatrix} 2 \\ 4 \\ -1 \\ 2 \end{bmatrix} \) and linearly independent vectors from the original basis.

#### (e) Show that \( \begin{bmatrix} 3 \\ 5 \\ 0 \\ -5 \\ 2 \end{bmatrix} \) is in Row A.

To verify if \( \begin{bmatrix} 3 \\ 5 \\ 0 \\ -5 \\ 2 \end{bmatrix} \) is in Row A:

1. Check if it can be expressed as a linear combination of the rows of \( A \).
2. Alternatively, transpose \( A \) and confirm if \( \begin{bmatrix} 3 \\ 5 \\ 0 \\ -5 \\ 2 \end{bmatrix} \) is in the column space of \( A^T \).

### Follow-up Questions:

1. How do you determine linear independence among vectors?
2. What is the significance of finding a basis for the column space and null space of a matrix?
3. How does the rank of a matrix relate to its column space and null space?
4. Can a vector belong to both the column space and null space of a matrix?
5. What methods exist to determine if a vector lies in a particular vector space?

**Tip:** Remember that the row space, column space, and null space are all fundamental subspaces related to a matrix and provide insights into its structure and solution properties.

This detailed solution provides step-by-step methods for finding bases for the row space, column space, and null space of a matrix. It includes matrix row reduction techniques, linear independence analysis, and how to apply the rank-nullity theorem. Suitable for high school students studying linear algebra.
