Explanation / Answer

1. Ax = y, where y = 7u1 +4u4.

=> x = 2v1 v3 + 5v4

2. Given x = 2v1 v3 + 5v4

We know that Ax = y

=> Ax = y = 7u1 +4u4.

3. Ax = b, where b = 4u4

We know that Ax = 7u1 + 4u4

=> Ax = 7u1 + b

So the norm of the error for the least squares solution is 7u1.

4. Ax = b, where b = 3u1 5u2 + 7u3 + u4 3u5 + 12u6 + 4u7

We know that Ax = 7u1 + 4u4

The norm of the error for the least squares solution = |Ax - b| = |7u1 + 4u4 - 3u1 5u2 + 7u3 + u4 3u5 + 12u6 + 4u7|

=> |Ax - b| = 4u1 - 5u2 + 7u3 + 5u4 - 3u5 + 12u6 + 4u7
