Problem 17a
Textbook Question
In Exercises 13–18, perform each matrix row operation and write the new matrix. 

1
Identify the matrix and the row operations to be performed.
The given matrix is a 4x5 matrix with the following rows: R1 = [1, -1, 1, 1, 3], R2 = [0, 1, -2, -1, 0], R3 = [2, 0, 3, 4, 11], R4 = [5, 1, 2, 4, 6].
Perform the first row operation: -2R1 + R3. This means multiply each element of R1 by -2 and add it to the corresponding element of R3.
Perform the second row operation: -5R1 + R4. This means multiply each element of R1 by -5 and add it to the corresponding element of R4.
Write the new matrix after performing the row operations.
