Solution

The matrix must have the vectors [Maple Math] and [Maple Math] as a basis for its null space.

If we take B to be the matrix [Maple Math] which has the vectors [Maple Math] and [Maple Math] for rows then we can

find a basis for its nullspace and make these the rows of a matrix. Depending on how you calculate this basis you may get different bases. One basis is the rows of the matrix [Maple Math]

This matrix has rank 2 so its nullspace has dimension 2. The rows of B are independent and in the nullspace of A so they are a basis for the nullspace of A. This means that the general solution to Ax = [Maple Math] is any particular solution to

plus a general element of the nullspace. That is [Maple Math] + [Maple Math] . If this is a solution to Ax=b then the b must be [Maple Math] so b = [Maple Math] [Maple Math] = [Maple Math]

[Maple Math] is simply the null space of the transpose of the matrix obtained by augmenting [Maple Math] and taking transpose. Clearly, the vectors [Maple Math] will be in its null space, by definition. The rank of the matrix [Maple Math] is clearly 2 since the chosen vectors are independent. (They clearly have a 2 by 2 nonzero subdeterminant chosen from the second and the third rows.)
Since
[Maple Math] has rank 2, its null space will have dimension 2 (or number of columns - rank). So, our vectors [Maple Math] must be a basis of the column space. If we simply take [Maple Math] to be [Maple Math] , we have all we need!
