Question
On this educational page, we address the problem of finding the least squares solution for the equation \( A\vec{x} = \vec{b} \).

The matrix \( A \) and the vector \( \vec{b} \) are given as:

\[ 
A = \begin{bmatrix} 
2 & 0 & -1 \\ 
1 & -2 & 2 \\ 
2 & -1 & 0 \\ 
0 & 1 & -1 
\end{bmatrix}
\]

\[ 
\vec{b} = \begin{bmatrix} 
0 \\ 
6 \\ 
0 \\ 
6 
\end{bmatrix}
\]

(You can use a computer for all the matrix multiplications!)

For further clarity, in finding the least squares solution to \( A\vec{x} = \vec{b} \), we are determining the vector \(\vec{x}\) that minimizes the expression \(\|A\vec{x} - \vec{b}\|^2\). This is particularly useful when the system of equations represented by \( A\vec{x} = \vec{b} \) does not have an exact solution.
