In this case there are no restrictions on , , and ; that is, the given system has the unique solution

for all b.

Remark Because the system in the preceding example is consistent for all b, it follows from Theorem 1.6.4 that A is
invertible. We leave it for the reader to verify that the formulas in (3) can also be obtained by calculating .
