Question
If $\begin{bmatrix}1&0&0\\0&\text{y}&0\\0&0&1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}\text{x}\\-1\\\text{z}\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}1\\0\\1\end{bmatrix}$, find x, y and z.

Answer

Here,
$\begin{bmatrix}1&0&0\\0&\text{y}&0\\0&0&1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}\text{x}\\-1\\\text{z}\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}1\\0\\1\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}\text{x}\\-\text{y}\\\text{z}\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}1\\0\\1\end{bmatrix}$
$\therefore\ \text{x}=1,\text{y}=0\text{ and }\text{z}=1$
