Homework Statement
I am more trying to figure out how to solve generally rather than solve this specific problem. Nevertheless this problem could be given as: Solve the matrix for A and B.
Homework Equations
[tex]\begin{pmatrix}
1 & 1 \\
0 & 0 \\
0 & 2 \\
2 & 0 \\
0 & 0 \\
\end{pmatrix}
\begin{pmatrix}
A \\
B
\end{pmatrix}=
\begin{pmatrix}
42 \\
0 \\
0 \\
8 \\
50 \\
\end{pmatrix}[/tex]
apparently this matrix is of the form (CTC)X=CTB
The Attempt at a Solution
I do not understand how to solve it! In this problem, what would A=? and B=? look like? Do I have to send the first matrix to the right-hand side?
This is just a basic example. I will later want to solve the same kind of problem where the first matrix has more columns and the second matrix has more rows.
Thank you in advance.
