"Describe the matrix A so that Ax = [x1-x2; x2-x3;...;x(n-1) - x(n); x(n) - x1]
Ax = b
I feel like after getting the ball rolling I'll actually be able to work on this problem, but for the time being I haven't the slightest idea how to begin it.
Recently, we've been working on inverses, so I assume that you need to take the inverse of x, and then multiply both sides by the inverse of x so that you're left with A = [x1-x2; x2-x3;...;x(n-1) - x(n); x(n) - x1](x^-1), but I don't know exactly how I'd even begin that since it's all variables. Hopefully this counts as "an attempt".
Thank you very much in advance.
