Homework Statement

The Attempt at a Solution


First I row reduced the matrix into the RREF and got

[tex] \left[ \begin{array}{cccc} 1 & 0 & -1 & -2 \\ 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \end{array} \right][/tex]

(0,1,2,3) is a linear combinatin of (1,2,3,4) and (2,6,10,14) so you drop it. Therefore {(1,0,-1,-2), (0,1,2,3)} is a basis of row(A).

Am I correct?
