- Which of the following are true about
M:=Matrix([[1,4],[2,5],[3,6]])? Note that when M is augmented with a generic vector and reduced to Gaussian, the last row becomes
[0 0 b1-2b2+b3]
a) The column space is the plane b1-2b2+b3=0 in R3
b) The column space is the plane sVector([1,2,3]) + tVector([4,5,6]) in R3
c) The nullspace is the 0 vector in R2
d) more than one of the above, but not all of them
e) all of a), b), c)
