Let B be a 4x4 matrix to which we apply the following operations:
1. double column 1,
2. halve row 3,
3. add row 3 to row 1,
4. interchange columns 1 and 4,
5. subtract row 2 from each of the other rows,
6. replace column 4 by column 3,
7. delete column 1 (column dimension is reduced by 1).
(a) Write the result as a product of eight matrices.
(b) Write it again as a product of ABC (same B) of three matrices.
