Adding Task: Write the given system of equations as a matrix equation.

Adding Task: Row reduce the augmented matrix of the system.

Adding Task: Identify the pivot columns in the row reduced echelon form.

Adding Task: Write the corresponding vectors as a basis for the vector space.

Starting task: Write the given system of equations as a matrix equation.

Writing code...

Executing: "Write the given system of equations as a matrix equation.": To write the given system of equations as a
matrix equation, we can represent the system of equations using matrix notation.

Let's denote the vector x as [x1, x2, x3, x4], and the given system of equations as:

x1 + x2 + x3 = 0 -- (1)
x3 + x4 = 0 -- (2)

We can rewrite these equations in matrix form as:

A*x=0

where A is the coefficient matrix, and x is the vector [x1, x2, x3, x4].

The coefficient matrix A can be constructed by extracting the coefficients of the variables from the equations:

A = [[1, 1, 1, 0],
[0, 0, 1, 1]]

Now we have the matrix equation:

[[1, 1, 1, 0],
[0, 0, 1, 1]] * [x1, x2, x3, x4] = 0

Adding Task: Write the given system of equations as a matrix equation.

Starting task: Row reduce the augmented matrix of the system.

Writing code...

Executing: "Row reduce the augmented matrix of the system.": To find a basis for the vector space containing the
vectors {x R4: x1 + x2 + x3 = 0, x3 + x4 = 0}, we can row reduce the augmented matrix of the system.
Before proceeding with the code, let's first define the augmented matrix for the given system:

```
1 1 1 0 | 0
0 0 1 1 | 0
```

Now, let's write the code to row reduce the augmented matrix using the Gauss-Jordan elimination method.

```python
# Define the augmented matrix
matrix = [
[1, 1, 1, 0, 0],
[0, 0, 1, 1, 0]
]

# Define the number of rows and columns in the matrix


num_rows = len(matrix)
num_cols = len(matrix[0])

# Perform row reduction


for pivot_row in range(num_rows):
# Normalize the pivot row
pivot_element = matrix[pivot_row][pivot_row]
for col in range(num_cols):
matrix[pivot_row][col] /= pivot_element

# Eliminate other rows


for row in range(num_rows):
if row != pivot_row:
factor = matrix[row][pivot_row]
for col in range(num_cols):
matrix[row][col] -= factor * matrix[pivot_row][col]

# Print the row-reduced matrix


for row in matrix:
print(row)
```

The above code will row reduce the augmented matrix using the Gauss-Jordan elimination method. After row
reduction, the row-reduced matrix will be printed.

Note: The code assumes that the augmented matrix is consistent and has a unique solution. If the matrix is
inconsistent or has infinitely many solutions, additional code logic would be required to handle those cases.

Once the row-reduced matrix is obtained, the basis for the vector space containing the vectors can be determined
by examining the rows of the row-reduced matrix. The basis vectors will correspond to the non-zero rows of the
row-reduced matrix.
Adding Task: Row reduce the augmented matrix of the system.

Adding Task: Identify the non-zero rows in the row-reduced matrix.

Starting task: Identify the pivot columns in the row reduced echelon form.

Writing code...

Executing: "Identify the pivot columns in the row reduced echelon form.": To identify the pivot columns in the row
reduced echelon form of a matrix, we need to perform row reduction on the matrix first.

Here's the code to identify the pivot columns:

```python
matrix = [
[1, 1, 1, 0],
[0, 0, 1, 1]
]

def row_reduce(matrix):
# Step 1: Convert matrix to row echelon form
num_rows = len(matrix)
num_cols = len(matrix[0])
pivot_cols = []

# Perform Gaussian elimination


for row in range(num_rows):
# Find pivot column
for col in range(num_cols):
if matrix[row][col] != 0:
pivot_cols.append(col)
break

# Zero out values below pivot


pivot_val = matrix[row][pivot_cols[row]]
for i in range(row+1, num_rows):
multiplier = -matrix[i][pivot_cols[row]] / pivot_val
for j in range(num_cols):
matrix[i][j] += multiplier * matrix[row][j]

# Step 2: Convert matrix to row reduced echelon form


for row in reversed(range(num_rows)):
pivot_col = pivot_cols[row]
pivot_val = matrix[row][pivot_col]

# Scale pivot row to have a leading 1


for col in range(num_cols):
matrix[row][col] /= pivot_val
# Zero out values above pivot
for i in range(row):
multiplier = -matrix[i][pivot_col]
for j in range(num_cols):
matrix[i][j] += multiplier * matrix[row][j]

return matrix

# Perform row reduction on the matrix


reduced_matrix = row_reduce(matrix)

# Identify the pivot columns


pivot_columns = []
for col in range(len(reduced_matrix[0])):
for row in range(len(reduced_matrix)):
if reduced_matrix[row][col] != 0:
pivot_columns.append(col)
break

print("Pivot columns:", pivot_columns)


```

This code first performs Gaussian elimination to convert the matrix to row echelon form. Then, it further reduces the
matrix to row reduced echelon form. Finally, it identifies the pivot columns by finding the first non-zero entry in each
column of the reduced matrix.

Note that the code assumes the input matrix is in the form of a 2D list, where

Adding Task: Identify the pivot columns in the row reduced echelon form.

Adding Task: Write the matrix in row reduced echelon form.

Starting task: Write the corresponding vectors as a basis for the vector space.

Generating response...

Executing: "Write the corresponding vectors as a basis for the vector space.": To find a basis for the vector space
containing the vectors {x R4: x1 + x2 + x3 = 0, x3 + x4 = 0}, we need to determine a set of vectors that spans the
space and is linearly independent.

Let's start by solving the given system of equations:


x1 + x2 + x3 = 0 (Equation 1)
x3 + x4 = 0 (Equation 2)

From Equation 2, we can express x4 in terms of x3 as x4 = -x3. Substituting this into Equation 1, we get:
x1 + x2 + x3 = 0

Now we can express each variable (x1, x2, x3, x4) in terms of a free variable. Let's choose x3 as the free variable:
x1 = -x2 - x3
x2 = -x3
x3 = x3 (free variable)
x4 = -x3

We can rewrite the solutions in vector form:


x = [x1, x2, x3, x4] = [-x2 - x3, -x3, x3, -x3] = [-x2, -x3, x3, -x3] = x2[-1, 0, 0, 0] + x3[0, -1, 1, -1]

From the above expression, we can see that the vector space is spanned by the vectors [-1, 0, 0, 0] and [0, -1, 1,
-1]. These vectors are linearly independent as there is no non-trivial linear combination of them that gives the zero
vector.

Therefore, the basis for the vector space containing the given vectors is {[-1, 0, 0, 0], [0, -1, 1, -1]}.

Adding Task: Write the corresponding vectors as a basis for the vector space.

Starting task: Identify the non-zero rows in the row-reduced matrix.

Generating response...

Executing: "Identify the non-zero rows in the row-reduced matrix.": To find a basis for the vector space containing the
vectors {x R4: x1 + x2 + x3 = 0, x3 + x4 = 0}, we will first set up the system of equations using the given conditions.

Let the variables be x1, x2, x3, and x4.

From the first condition, x1 + x2 + x3 = 0, we can rewrite it as:


x1 = -x2 - x3

From the second condition, x3 + x4 = 0, we can rewrite it as:


x4 = -x3

Now, we can express the vectors in terms of the variables:


x = [x1, x2, x3, x4] = [-x2 - x3, x2, x3, -x3]

To find the basis of the vector space, we need to identify the non-zero rows in the row-reduced matrix.

Let's set up the augmented matrix by writing the system of equations in matrix form:

[1, 1, 1, 0 | 0]
[0, 0, 1, 1 | 0]

To row-reduce the matrix, we can perform elementary row operations to bring it to its reduced row-echelon form:

[R2 - R1]

[1, 1, 1, 0 | 0]
[0, 0, 1, 1 | 0]

The matrix is already in its reduced row-echelon form.


Now, let's identify the non-zero rows:

Row 1: [1, 1, 1, 0 | 0]
Row 2: [0, 0, 1, 1 | 0]

Both rows are non-zero.

Therefore, the non-zero rows in the row-reduced matrix correspond to vectors that form the basis for the vector space
containing the given vectors.

The basis for the vector space is { [1, 1, 1, 0], [0, 0, 1, 1] }.

Adding Task: Identify the non-zero rows in the row-reduced matrix.

Adding Task: Find the null space of the row-reduced matrix.

Starting task: Write the matrix in row reduced echelon form.
