Answer

Step 3: The dimension of the row space is the number of vectors in the basis. So, the dimension of the row space of the matrix is 1.

Steps

Step 1 :Step 1: Perform row operations to bring the matrix to row-echelon form. This does not change the row space. We subtract twice the first row from the second, and thrice the first row from the third to get: A=[123000000]

Step 2 :Step 2: The row space of this matrix is the span of the non-zero rows. So, the basis for the row space of the original matrix is the set {[123]}

Step 3 :Step 3: The dimension of the row space is the number of vectors in the basis. So, the dimension of the row space of the matrix is 1.
