Homework Statement
Let x=(x1,x2,x3), Ax:=(x2-x3,x1,x1+x3), Bx:=(x2,2x3,x1)
Find: (3B+2A2)x.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
Warning: I have no idea what I'm doing!
(3B+2A2)x = 3Bx+2A2x
3Bx = (3x2,6x3,3x1)
Now to find 2A2x. Considering that an index has a higher priority than multiplication, the following is probably illegal:
2*A*Ax = 2* A(x2-x3,x1,x1+x3) = 2 * (x1-x1-x3,x2-x3,x2-x3+x1+x3) = (-2x3,2x2-2x3,2x2+2x1)
Now to sum up:
(3x2,6x3,3x1) + (-2x3,2x2-2x3,2x2+2x1)...
Suggestions? I don't even know what kind of exercise this really is, so I was unable to find anything helpful on the internet...
