\begin{exercise}{M2}{Row operations as matrix multiplication}{0002}
\begin{exerciseStatement}

Let \(A\) be a \(4 \times 4\) matrix.



\begin{enumerate}[(a)]
\item Give a \(4 \times 4\) matrix \(B\) that may be used to perform the row operation \( R_2 \to R_2 + 5R_3 \).
\item Give a \(4 \times 4\) matrix \(C\) that may be used to perform the row operation \( R_4 \to -2R_4 \).
\item Use matrix multiplication to describe the matrix obtained by applying \( R_4 \to -2R_4 \) and then \( R_2 \to R_2 + 5R_3 \) to \(A\) (note the order). 
\end{enumerate}

    \end{exerciseStatement}
\begin{exerciseAnswer}

\begin{enumerate}[(a)]
\item \(B= \left[\begin{array}{cccc}
1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 1 & 5 & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 0 & 1
\end{array}\right] \)
\item \(C= \left[\begin{array}{cccc}
1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 0 & -2
\end{array}\right] \)
\item \(BCA\)
