Step 2
The row space of a matrix is the collection of all possible linear combinations of its row vectors.
c1[10]+c2[01]+c3[00]+c4[00]
Step 3
The basis for Row(A) is the non-zero rows of a matrix in reduced row echelon form. The dimension of the basis for Row(A) is the number of vectors in the basis.
Basis of Row(A): {[10],[01]}
Dimension of Row(A): 2
