Question
**Matrix Membership in Subspace**

In this exercise, we are exploring whether the vector \( \mathbf{u} \) is within the subset of \(\mathbb{R}^3\) spanned by the columns of matrix \( \mathbf{A} \).

Given:
\[ 
\mathbf{u} = \begin{bmatrix}
2 \\
-4 \\
1 \\
\end{bmatrix}
\] 

and 

\[ 
\mathbf{A} = \begin{bmatrix}
6 & 8 & 4 \\
0 & 2 & -2 \\
1 & 2 & 0 \\
\end{bmatrix}.
\]

**Question:** Is \( \mathbf{u} \) in the subset of \(\mathbb{R}^3\) spanned by the columns of \( \mathbf{A} \)? Why or why not?

**To Solve:**

Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer box to complete your choice. (Type an integer or decimal for each matrix element.)

**Options:**
- **A.** No, the reduced row echelon form of the augmented matrix is \(\boxed{\quad}\), which is an inconsistent system.
- **B.** Yes, multiplying \( \mathbf{A} \) by the vector \(\boxed{\quad}\) writes \( \mathbf{u} \) as a linear combination of the columns of \( \mathbf{A} \).

To decide which option is correct, we would proceed to set up the augmented matrix and perform row reduction to see if the system is consistent or not.
