![**Matrix Theory**
Consider the matrix \( A \):
\[
A = \begin{bmatrix}
4 & 20 & 8 & -12 \\
1 & 5 & 2 & -3 \\
0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
\end{bmatrix}
\]
**Objective:**
Compute the following:
1. Rank of \( A \)
2. Nullity of \( A \)
3. Sum of the rank and nullity of \( A \)
**Formulas to use:**
- **Rank of a Matrix**: The rank of a matrix is the maximum number of linearly independent row vectors in the matrix.
- **Nullity of a Matrix**: Nullity is the dimension of the null space of the matrix, which is the number of solutions to the equation \( A \mathbf{x} = 0 \).
- **Rank-Nullity Theorem**: This theorem states that the sum of the rank and nullity of a matrix \( A \) is equal to the number of columns of \( A \).
**Enter your computations:**
\[
\begin{aligned}
&\text{rank of } A = \quad \_\_\_\_\_ \\
&\text{nullity of } A = \quad \_\_\_\_\_ \\
&\text{rank of } A + \text{ nullity of } A = \quad \_\_\_\_\_ \\
\end{aligned}
\]
