Homework Statement



A(\vec{x}) = (F + T * x )2

F is a constant,
x is a 2×1 vector
T is a (constant) 1×2 matrixB(\vec{x}) = || K.Z.x ||2 k:3\times3 matrix and Z:3\times2, x the same as aboveB(x) is also R2→RC(x) = A(x) + B(x)

Homework Equations



1- I am confused how can (A + B) be represented as a (vector) norm like this:

C(x) = || (F , 0) + (T , K).Z.x ||2

, i.e., what would be the dimensionality and meaning of the matrix (T , K) ? (discrepancy between the first 1 \times 2 entry and second 3 \times 3?)

There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
