**Problem 9: Matrix Generation**

Show that the matrices 

\[
\begin{pmatrix} 
1 & 0 \\ 
0 & 0 
\end{pmatrix}
,
\begin{pmatrix} 
0 & 1 \\ 
0 & 0 
\end{pmatrix}
,
\begin{pmatrix} 
0 & 0 \\ 
1 & 0 
\end{pmatrix}
, \text{ and }
\begin{pmatrix} 
0 & 0 \\ 
0 & 1 
\end{pmatrix}
\]

generate \( M_{2 \times 2}(F) \).

---
Explanation:

The problem asks to show that the given 2x2 matrices serve as generators for all 2x2 matrices over the field \( F \). This involves demonstrating that any 2x2 matrix 

\[
\begin{pmatrix}
a & b \\
c & d
\end{pmatrix}
\]

can be expressed as a linear combination of the given matrices.

Each matrix has a single '1' in different positions and zeros elsewhere, representing the standard basis for the space of 2x2 matrices.
