oh, no, just 1

OpenStudy (loser66):

I am sorry for misread the problem. My final answer is only one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I wanna understand how to approach the answer

OpenStudy (loser66):

Let me retype it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i really dont get it

OpenStudy (loser66):

A is invertible --> the transformation is one to one which means any image has only 1 preimage. Your image is b, its preimage is x

OpenStudy (loser66):

|dw:1410112031260:dw|

OpenStudy (loser66):

A is applied to x to get b, you have Ax =b

OpenStudy (loser66):

If you can prove that A is invertible, then A transfers x to b and then \(A^-\) transfers b back to x, not other point

OpenStudy (loser66):

so that, for each b, you have only 1 x

OpenStudy (loser66):

The goal of the problem becomes proving A is invertible.

OpenStudy (loser66):

How to know? det A \(\neq 0\) --> A is invertible.

OpenStudy (loser66):

and you can calculate det A = 3 \(\neq 0\)

OpenStudy (loser66):

which leads to A is invertible

OpenStudy (loser66):

--> each b has only 1 x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is the question, they are vectors. So I still can't follow you somehow. We have not reached the invertible part yet.

OpenStudy (loser66):

wow!!

OpenStudy (loser66):

if you don't know what is invertible, how you can solve a general problem like this???

OpenStudy (loser66):

@rational Please, help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry...maybe I do know what invertible means I might not know that the concept is called invertible

OpenStudy (loser66):

hihihi ... That's all I can give you. Reread and you can understand it.
