Hi all,
This isn't actually part of my assigned homework, I was just trying it out as the topic confuses me. I think I might understand what's going on a little more if someone could walk me through this. Any advice on the intuition behind it would be great. Thanks so much.
1. Homework Statement
Sorry I'm not sure how to input matrices properly...I've attached a pic off the web. It's question 11.
I think the fundamental idea here is spanning sets, which is all the possible linear combinations of those matrices, right?

The truth is I'm not really sure what the logic behind solving this is. My attempt involved row reducing a matrix with A_1, A_2, and A_3 straightened out as it's columns, but I wasn't really sure what to do with the result as honestly I'm pretty slow and I don't have any intuition regarding this question. If someone could walk me through this I'd be extremely grateful :)
