Exercise 3.4.7

Answers

See Exercise 1.6.8. Note that if we put those vectors as row vectors of M just like what we’ve done in Exercise 1.6.8, we cannot interchange any two rows. However, we can also construct a matrix the i-th column ui. And we can do the row operation including interchanging any two rows. The set of columns containing one pivot1 forms an independent set.

( 2 1 8 1 3 3 4 12 37 5 1 2417 8 )
(11 241 2 3 2 01 0 719 11 00 0 0 1 )

So the set {u1,u2,u5} is a basis for 3.
