The set of equations, x1+3x2=17, $5x_1 + 7x_2 = 19, and $11x_1 + 13x_2 = 23 has no real solution, but the pseudoinverse may be used to find close values. First, the matrix A is set up: A=15113713. We solve A†=(ATA)−1AT and get A†=[−0.51970.4276−0.21710.20390.2368−0.1316]. Next, we find x=A†y and multiply:
[−0.51970.4276−0.21710.20390.2368−0.1316]171923=[−7.518.12]
This means x1≈−7.51 and x2≈8.12.
