  <statement>
    <p>Let <m>A</m> be a <m>4 \times 4</m> matrix.</p>
    <ol>
      <li>Give a <m>4 \times 4</m> matrix <m>Q</m> that may be used to perform the row operation <m> R_1 \to R_1 + 2R_2 </m>.</li>
      <li>Give a <m>4 \times 4</m> matrix <m>C</m> that may be used to perform the row operation <m> R_4 \to 4R_4 </m>.</li>
      <li>Use matrix multiplication to describe the matrix obtained by applying
              <m> R_1 \to R_1 + 2R_2 </m> and then <m> R_4 \to 4R_4 </m>
              to <m>A</m> (note the order).
