Exercise 12

Avg difficulty 3.0

After Theorem 1.5 we note that multiplying a row by 00 is not allowed because that could change a solution set. Give an example of a system with solution set S0S_{0} where after multiplying a row by 00 the new system has a solution set S1S_{1} and S0S_{0} is a proper subset of S1S_{1}, that is, S0≠S1S_{0}\neq S_{1}. Give an example where S0=S1S_{0}=S_{1}.
