SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on solving matrix equations involving two unknowns, specifically the equations [X]'[X] = [A] (2x2) and [y]'[X] = [B] (1x2). The user seeks guidance on handling matrix equations with multiple unknowns, contrasting it with the simpler case of a single unknown. The dash in the notation indicates the transpose of the matrix, which is crucial for understanding the relationships between the matrices involved.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of matrix multiplication
  • Knowledge of matrix transposition

Hello I have a problem regarding matrix equations.
In my assigment two products of matrices are given, but none of the factors.
[X]'[X] = [A] (2x2)
[y]'[X] = (1x2)


I know how to solve a matrix equation with one unknown.
AX = B and take the inverse etc.

But can you give me some guidance on how to tackle the problem when there are two unkowns?
