### Matrix and RREF Analysis

Consider the following matrix \( A \) and its Reduced Row Echelon Form (RREF):

\[
A = \left[\begin{array}{cccccc}
4 & 0 & -8 & -1 & 4 & -4 \\
3 & 3 & 6 & 1 & 1 & 0 \\
3 & 1 & -2 & 0 & 3 & -1 \\
4 & 3 & 4 & -2 & -9 & 0 \\
3 & 0 & -6 & 0 & 6 & 2 \\
\end{array}\right]
\xrightarrow{\text{RREF}}
\left[\begin{array}{cccccc}
1 & 0 & -2 & 0 & 2 & 0 \\
0 & 1 & 4 & 0 & -3 & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 4 & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \\
0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
\end{array}\right]
\]

#### Explain all your answers

**(a) Determine a basis for \(\text{Col}(A)\).**

To find a basis for the column space \(\text{Col}(A)\), note the columns in the original matrix \( A \) that correspond to the leading 1s in the RREF. These are the first, second, fourth, and sixth columns. Thus, a basis for \(\text{Col}(A)\) comprises these columns from \( A \).

**(b) Determine a basis for \(\text{Nul}(A)\).**

To find a basis for the null space \(\text{Nul}(A)\), solve the homogenous system corresponding to the RREF of \( A \). Set the free variables and express other variables in terms of these. The solution vector that results gives a basis for \(\text{Nul}(A)\).

**(c) Determine \(\text{rank}(A)\) and \(\text{nullity}(A)\).**

- \(\text{rank}(A)\) is the number of leading 1s in the RREF, which is 4.
- \(\text{nullity
