Derivatives and more

Optimizing the above equation, that is

f=0=Axb,

which leads to a simple matrix-inversion problem

x=A1b.

This problem is easy to solve since we can calculate the inverse. Alternatively, we can solve the two coupled equations with two unknowns

fx1=2x1+x25=0,

and

fx2=x1+20x23=0,

with solutions x1=97/39 and x2=1/39.
