What is the crucial idea that allows you to solve systems of equations using matricies?? If $$ A\left( \begin{matrix} x \\ y \ z\end{matrix} \right) = v $$ then $$ \left( \begin{matrix} x \\ y \ z\end{matrix} \right) = A^{-1}v $$ How could you rewrite [2x+3y = 4 \\ 4x-y = 7] as the product of two matricies?? $$ \left(\begin{matrix}2 & 3 \\ 4 & -1\end{matrix}\right)\left(\begin{matrix}x \ y\end{matrix}\right) = \left(\begin{matrix}4 \ 7\end{matrix}\right) $$ How could you solve this $$\left(\begin{matrix}2 & 3 \\ 4 & -1\end{matrix}\right)\left(\begin{matrix}x \ y\end{matrix}\right) = \left(\begin{matrix}4 \ 7\end{matrix}\right)$$?

See Also [[Maths - Proof by Contradiction]]S Flashcards When proving irrationality of a surd $x$, what is the setup?? Assume $x = \frac{a}{b}$ where $a$ and $b$ are integers that do not share any factors. Why can’t $a$ and $b$ share any factors when proving the irrationality of a surd?? Because it would mean you could simplify $\frac{a}{b}$. How do you get rid the square root over $x$ when proving it’s irrationality?
