Use the inverse found in Exercise 3 to solve the system
\(\begin{aligned}{l}{\bf{8}}{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{1}}} + {\bf{5}}{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{2}}} = - {\bf{9}}\\ - {\bf{7}}{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{1}}} - {\bf{5}}{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{2}}} = {\bf{11}}\end{aligned}\)
The solutions are \({x_1} = 2\) and \({x_2} = - 5\).

Suppose \({A_{{\bf{11}}}}\) is invertible. Find \(X\) and \(Y\) such that
\[\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{A_{{\bf{11}}}}}&{{A_{{\bf{12}}}}}\\{{A_{{\bf{21}}}}}&{{A_{{\bf{22}}}}}\end{array}} \right] = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}I&{\bf{0}}\\X&I\end{array}} \right]\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{A_{{\bf{11}}}}}&{\bf{0}}\\{\bf{0}}&S\end{array}} \right]\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}I&Y\\{\bf{0}}&I\end{array}} \right]\]
Where \(S = {A_{{\bf{22}}}} - {A_{21}}A_{{\bf{11}}}^{ - {\bf{1}}}{A_{{\bf{12}}}}\). The matrix \(S\) is called the Schur complement of \({A_{{\bf{11}}}}\). Likewise, if \({A_{{\bf{22}}}}\) is invertible, the matrix \({A_{{\bf{11}}}} - {A_{{\bf{12}}}}A_{{\bf{22}}}^{ - {\bf{1}}}{A_{{\bf{21}}}}\) is called the Schur complement of \({A_{{\bf{22}}}}\). Such expressions occur frequently in the theory of systems engineering, and elsewhere.
In exercise 5 and 6, compute the product \(AB\) in two ways: (a) by the definition, where \(A{b_{\bf{1}}}\) and \(A{b_{\bf{2}}}\) are computed separately, and (b) by the row-column rule for computing \(AB\).
\(A = \left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}{ - {\bf{1}}}&{\bf{2}}\\{\bf{5}}&{\bf{4}}\\{\bf{2}}&{ - {\bf{3}}}\end{aligned}} \right)\), \(B = \left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{3}}&{ - {\bf{2}}}\\{ - {\bf{2}}}&{\bf{1}}\end{aligned}} \right)\)
Suppose \(\left( {B - C} \right)D = 0\), where Band Care \(m \times n\) matrices and \(D\) is invertible. Show that B = C.
In Exercises 33 and 34, Tis a linear transformation from \({\mathbb{R}^2}\) into \({\mathbb{R}^2}\). Show that T is invertible and find a formula for \({T^{ - 1}}\).
33. \(T\left( {{x_1},{x_2}} \right) = \left( { - 5{x_1} + 9{x_2},4{x_1} - 7{x_2}} \right)\)
In Exercises 27 and 28, view vectors in \({\mathbb{R}^n}\)as\(n \times 1\)matrices. For \({\mathop{\rm u}\nolimits} \) and \({\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} \) in \({\mathbb{R}^n}\), the matrix product \({{\mathop{\rm u}\nolimits} ^T}v\) is a \(1 \times 1\) matrix, called the scalar product, or inner product, of u and v. It is usually written as a single real number without brackets. The matrix product \({{\mathop{\rm uv}\nolimits} ^T}\) is a \(n \times n\) matrix, called the outer product of u and v. The products \({{\mathop{\rm u}\nolimits} ^T}{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} \) and \({{\mathop{\rm uv}\nolimits} ^T}\) will appear later in the text.
28. If u and v are in \({\mathbb{R}^n}\), how are \({{\mathop{\rm u}\nolimits} ^T}{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} \) and \({{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} ^T}{\mathop{\rm u}\nolimits} \) related? How are \({{\mathop{\rm uv}\nolimits} ^T}\) and \({\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} {{\mathop{\rm u}\nolimits} ^T}\) related?
