## Understanding Matrices

In the study of linear algebra, a matrix is a rectangular array of numbers arranged in rows and columns. Matrices are used to represent linear equations and transformations.

### Problem Statement

Consider the matrix \([B]\) given below:

\[
[B] =
\begin{bmatrix}
-5 & -11 & 18 & -10 \\
0 & -14 & 14 & -12 \\
13 & 5 & -16 & -8 \\
-17 & 17 & 9 & 12
\end{bmatrix}
\]

We are interested to know the position \((r, c)\) of the element \(-10\) in this matrix. The notation \(b_{rc}\) represents the element located in the \(r\)-th row and \(c\)-th column of the matrix \([B]\).

### Question

If matrix \([B]\) has element \(b_{rc} = -10\), what are the values of \(r\) and \(c\)?

### Solution

To find the specific position \((r, c)\) of the element \(-10\) in the matrix \([B]\), you need to inspect each element in the matrix and find its corresponding row and column indices.

1. **First Row**: \((-5)\, (-11)\, (18)\, \(\underline{-10}\))
2. **Second Row**: \((0)\, (-14)\, (14)\, (-12)\)
3. **Third Row**: \((13)\, (5)\, (-16)\, (-8)\)
4. **Fourth Row**: \((-17)\, (17)\, (9)\, (12)\)

In the first row, you can see that \(-10\) is positioned at the 4th column.

Hence, \(r = 1\) and \(c = 4\).

```
r = __1__    and c = __4__
```
