Best Approximation
Please find the least squares solution of linear system Ax=b, and find the orthogonal projection of b onto the column space of A.
I) Matrix 3*2 A=[1 1;-1 1;-1 2] , b=[7;0;7]
II) A=[2 0 -1;1 -2 2;2 -1 0;0 1 -1] , b=[0;6;0;6]
Answers: I) x1=5, x2=1/2, [11/2;-9/2;-4] II) x1=14, x2=30, x3=26; [2;6;-2;4]
Find the orthogonal projection of u onto the subspace of R^4 spanned by the vectors v1 and v2 and v3.
u=(-2,0,2,4) v1=(1,1,3,0) v2=(-2,-1,-2,1) v3=(-3,-1,1,3)

Answer: (-12/5,-4/5,12/5,16/5)
Solution:
I) We have to solve the overdetermined algebraic system:
( 1)
First thing that we have to check is whether the vector [B] belongs or not to the column space of matrix [A] or, in other words, to compare the rank of the extended matrix to the rank of the main matrix:
where extended matrix.
Since , one concludes that the system (1) is not consistent
(Kronecker-Capelli ...
