write any 2*2 matrix A
multiply it by [3 5] and call the b
then
Ax=b
OpenStudy (jkbo):
Yes I cant figure out what problem that would be
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
make up a 2 x 2 matrix
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
any matrix you want..and tell me what it is
OpenStudy (jkbo):
[2 3]
[4 6]

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
what is
[2 3]
[4 6]
multiplies by
[3]
[5]
?
OpenStudy (jkbo):
Do you want me to multiply by 3 and 5? I dont understand the question
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
is [3/5] in your question a vector?
OpenStudy (jkbo):
Yes it is
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
ok
call that vector x
call your matrix A
what is Ax?

multiple matrix A with vector x
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
do you know how to do this?
OpenStudy (jkbo):
no I dont I just started this chapter
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
I don't see how they expect you to solve this if you don't know how to multiply
your question is this
ok lets talk about numbers not vectors for a second
give me an equation of the form ax=b
where x =3 is a solution
let a = 3
3*3 = 9
so
b=9
3x=9
is an equation of that form
OpenStudy (jkbo):
o ok

what would be the next step?
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
well you need to learn to multiply matricies with vectors, I would google that
