Short Answer

Question: Let A be the n x n matrix with 0's on the main diagonal, and 1's everywhere else. For an arbitrary vector b in n, solve the linear system A x=b , expressing the components x1,.......,xn of x in terms of the components of b . See Exercise 69 for the case n=3 .

The solution of the linear system A x=b isxi=b1+......+bnn-1-bi,i=1,2,....,n .

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Consider the system.

If A is an n x m matrix with row vectors ω1,..........ωn and x is a vector in Rm then, .

Ax=[-ω1-...-ωn-]x=[-ω1.x-...-ωn.x-]

Consider the linear system.

y+z=ay+z=by+y=c

The matrix form of the system is,

011|1101|b110|c

The solution is, x=b+c-a2,y=a+c-b2,z=a+b-c2 .

Step 2: Compute the system

Consider the linear system, x1,.......,xnof xxin terms of the components ofb .

x1+x2+.......+xn=b1x1+x2+.......+xn=b1.;x1+x2+.......+xn=bn-1x1+x2+.......+xn=bn

The solution, xi=b1+......+bnn-1-bi .

Where, i=1,2,....,n

Hence, xi=b1+......+bnn-1-bi,i=1,2,....,n is the solution of the linear system Ax=b.
