Write as a Vector Equality -1/(8x)+5y=1/2 , x-40y=-4

Problem

{[−1/8*x+5*y=1/2],[x−40*y=−4])

Solution

1. Identify the coefficients of the variables x and y in each equation to form the coefficient matrix A

2. Define the vector of variables x as a column vector containing x and y

3. Identify the constants on the right side of the equations to form the constant vector b

4. Express the system in the form A*x=b by multiplying the coefficient matrix by the variable vector and setting it equal to the constant vector.

Final Answer

[[−1/8,5],[1,−40]]*[[x],[y]]=[[1/2],[−4]]
