(a) What is dimension of x and y?
(b) Compute x + 2y.
(c) Compute ||x − y||.
(d) Compute xT (x + y).
(e) Compute x2 y1 .
3. Consider the following system of equations with unknowns x1 , x2 and x3 : x1 = 3x2 − 2x1 + 4 − x3 x2 + 2x1 = 4
4x1 + x2 − 3x3 = 6 − x2
Express this system in matrix vector notation in the form of
Ax = b
