**Matrix and Linear Algebra - System of Equations**

**Problem Statement:**

Assume \( A \) is a \( 3 \times 4 \) matrix and the solution set of the linear system \( A\vec{x} = \vec{0} \) is the span of the vectors:
\[ 
\begin{pmatrix}
1 \\
1 \\
1 \\
0 
\end{pmatrix} 
\]
and 
\[ 
\begin{pmatrix}
-2 \\
-1 \\
0 \\
1 
\end{pmatrix}.
\]

Given these conditions, determine the reduced echelon form of the matrix \( A \).

For further reference, the reduced echelon form (also known as the reduced row echelon form, or RREF) of a matrix is a form where:
1. Each leading entry of a row is 1 and is the only non-zero entry in its column.
2. The leading entry of each non-zero row is to the right of the leading entry of the previous row.
3. Rows with all zero elements, if any, are below rows having a non-zero element.
