To determine the rank of a matrix $A$, we need to find the maximum number of linearly independent rows or columns in the matrix. The rank of a matrix is also equal to the number of non-zero rows in its row echelon form or reduced row echelon form (RREF).

However, you haven't provided the specific matrix $A$ for which you want to determine the rank. If you provide the matrix, I can compute the rank for you.

If you want to compute the rank of a matrix, here's a general outline of the steps:

1. Convert the matrix to row echelon form (REF) or reduced row echelon form (RREF).
2. Count the number of non-zero rows in the echelon form. This count is the rank of the matrix.

Please provide the matrix $A$, and I will calculate its rank.

Would you like more details on how to compute the REF or RREF of a matrix, or do you have any specific questions?

Tip: Remember, the rank of a matrix is the dimension of the column space (or row space), which represents the number of linearly independent columns (or rows) in the matrix.
