**Title: Describing All Solutions to \(Ax = 0\) in Parametric Vector Form**

To find the solutions for the equation \(Ax = 0\) in parametric vector form, where the matrix \(A\) is given as row equivalent to:

\[
\begin{bmatrix}
1 & 3 & 0 & -2 \\
4 & 12 & 0 & -8
\end{bmatrix}
\]

We need to express \(x\) in terms of the free variables.

The augmented matrix to solve the system is:

\[
\left[\begin{array}{cccc|c}
1 & 3 & 0 & -2 & 0 \\
4 & 12 & 0 & -8 & 0 
\end{array}\right]
\]

Perform row operations to get the matrix in row echelon form:

1. \(R2 \leftarrow R2 - 4R1\) to simplify the second row.
2. The result is:

\[
\left[\begin{array}{cccc|c}
1 & 3 & 0 & -2 & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 
\end{array}\right]
\]

This indicates that the system of equations has infinitely many solutions, with free variables corresponding to \(x_2\), \(x_3\), and \(x_4\).

From the simplified matrix, the equation \(x_1 + 3x_2 - 2x_4 = 0\) is derived. 

Solving for \(x_1\):

\[ 
x_1 = -3x_2 + 2x_4 
\]

The solutions can be expressed in parametric vector form:

\[ 
\mathbf{x} = 
\begin{bmatrix}
x_1 \\
x_2 \\
x_3 \\
x_4
\end{bmatrix} 
= x_2 
\begin{bmatrix}
-3 \\
1 \\
0 \\
0
\end{bmatrix} 
+ x_3 
\begin{bmatrix}
0 \\
0 \\
1 \\
0
\end{bmatrix} 
+ x_4 
\begin{bmatrix}
2 \\
0 \\
0 \\
1
\end{bmatrix}
\]
