Which of the following is a row vector?

(a) \(\left[ \begin{array}{c c r } 0 & 1 & 2 \end{array}\right]\)

(b) \(\left[ \begin{array}{c c r r}  0\\   1  \\  2\end{array}\right]\)

(c) \(\left[ \begin{array}{c  r}  0 & 1\\ 1 &  2\end{array}\right]\)

(d) \(\left[ \begin{array}{c c r r} 0 & 3 & 6 \\  1 & 8 & 4  \\  0 & 5 & 7\end{array}\right]\)

This question was posed to me in an internship interview.

The query is from Matrix Algebra topic in section Matrix Algebra and Gaussian Elimination of Finite Element Method

The correct option is (a) \(\left[ \begin{array}{c c r } 0 & 1 & 2 \end{array}\right]\)

Best explanation: A matrix of (1 x n) dimension is called row vector. A matrix of (n x1) dimension is called column vector.

 For example

d=[ 1 2 3 4] is a row vector.

c = \(\left[ \begin{array}{c c r r}  0\\   1  \\  2\end{array}\right]\) is a column vector.
