Suppose that c¹, c² are both 3 × 1 matrices. Let A = [c¹c²] be augmented matrix with c¹ and c² and c³ as its columns. Answer the following (each answer should be a short sentence or two.) a.) What are the dimensions of A? (That is, how many rows and columns does it have?) b.) Does the equation Ax = b always have to have a solution? c.) Based on your answer to the last part, does (c¹, c²) have to include every 3 × 1 matrix? d.) Can the equation Ar = 0 have multiple solutions? e.) Based on your answer to the last part, do the vectors {c¹, (²) have to be linearly inde- pendent?
