### Finding a Least-Squares Solution of \( Ax = b \) 

To find a least-squares solution of the equation \( Ax = b \), we proceed by:

**(a) Constructing the Normal Equations for \( \hat{x} \):**

Given matrices:
\[ 
A = \begin{bmatrix} 
1 & -3 \\ 
-1 & 3 \\ 
0 & 2 \\ 
3 & 9 
\end{bmatrix}, \quad 
b = \begin{bmatrix} 
3 \\ 
1 \\ 
-2 \\ 
5 
\end{bmatrix}
\]

- Our goal is to create the normal equations for solving \( \hat{x} \).

\[
x = \begin{bmatrix}
\phantom{x} \\ 
\phantom{x} 
\end{bmatrix}
\]

- **Instruction:** Simplify your answers, but do not solve at this step.

This process involves using the normal equation:
\[
A^TA\hat{x} = A^Tb
\]

The task here focuses on setting up this equation based on the given matrices. Stay tuned for the next steps, where we will proceed to solve for \( \hat{x} \).
