Question 1 (18 marks] Consider the following matrix a +1 1 a +1 0 -0-1-2 a +1 1 A= a +3 0 0 -a-3 2a -a-1 -2 4 a +2 -1 -2a a for some real number a. (a) [10 marks) Find all the conditions for a such that the system Ax = b is consistent for all be R'. Show all your steps clearly, including the elementary row operations used. (b) (1) (2 marks) Find all the conditions on a such that the reduced row echelon form of A is (010 1 09 001 -3/20 000 1 0 0 0 0 0 Explain your answer. 0 (ii) (4 marks) For the values of a found in (b)(i), show that S = -2 2 is a basis for the row space of A. (ii) (2 marks] For the values of a found in (b)(i), find a basis for the nullspace of A.
