The equation provided is:

$X A = B^T + 2X$

where: $A = \begin{bmatrix} 4 & -3 & 3 \\ 0 & 4 & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & 4 \end{bmatrix}, \quad B = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 \\ 2 & -3 \\ -2 & 1 \end{bmatrix}.$

To solve for $X$, let us analyze the equation:

1. $B^T$ is the transpose of matrix $B$, so: $B^T = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 2 & -2 \\ 1 & -3 & 1 \end{bmatrix}.$

The equation becomes: $X A = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 2 & -2 \\ 1 & -3 & 1 \end{bmatrix} + 2X.$

Rearranging: $X A - 2X = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 2 & -2 \\ 1 & -3 & 1 \end{bmatrix}.$

Factor out $X$ on the left: $X(A - 2I) = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 2 & -2 \\ 1 & -3 & 1 \end{bmatrix},$

where $I$ is the identity matrix. We compute $A - 2I$ first. Let me calculate this and proceed with solving for $X$.import numpy as np

Define the matrices A and B

A = np.array([[4, -3, 3], [0, 4, 1], [1, 1, 4]])

B = np.array([[0, 1], [2, -3], [-2, 1]])

Compute B^T (transpose of B)

B_transpose = B.T

Compute A - 2I, where I is the identity matrix

I = np.eye(3) # 3x3 identity matrix A_minus_2I = A - 2 * I

B_transpose, A_minus_2I(array([[ 0, 2, -2], [ 1, -3, 1]]), array([[ 2., -3., 3.], [ 0., 2., 1.], [ 1., 1., 2.]]))(array([[ 0, 2, -2], [ 1, -3, 1]]), array([[ 2., -3., 3.], [ 0., 2., 1.], [ 1., 1., 2.]]))successThe matrices computed are:

1. Transpose of $B$: $B^T = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 2 & -2 \\ 1 & -3 & 1 \end{bmatrix}.$

2. $A - 2I$: $A - 2I = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & -3 & 3 \\ 0 & 2 & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}.$

The equation now is: $X \begin{bmatrix} 2 & -3 & 3 \\ 0 & 2 & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 2 & -2 \\ 1 & -3 & 1 \end{bmatrix}.$

Next, solve for $X$ by multiplying both sides by the inverse of $(A - 2I)$. Let's compute this.# Compute the inverse of A_minus_2I A_minus_2I_inverse = np.linalg.inv(A_minus_2I)

Compute X

X = B_transpose @ A_minus_2I_inverse

Display the result

Xarray([[-2. , -4. , 4. ], [ 0.66666667, -0.33333333, -0.33333333]])array([[-2. , -4. , 4. ], [ 0.66666667, -0.33333333, -0.33333333]])successThe solution for matrix $X$ is:

$X = \begin{bmatrix} -2 & -4 & 4 \\ 0.67 & -0.33 & -0.33 \end{bmatrix}.$
