Work Step by Step

We get the right side of the equation: \[ \left[\begin{array}{cc} I & 0 \\ X & I \end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{cc} A_{11} & 0 \\ 0 & S \end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{cc} I & Y \\ 0 & I \end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc} A_{11} & 0 \\ X A_{11} & S \end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{cc} I & Y \\ 0 & I \end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc} A_{11} & A_{11} Y \\ X A_{11} & X A_{11} Y+S \end{array}\right] \] Set this equal to the left side of the equation: \[ \begin{array}{l} \left.\qquad \begin{array}{rl} \quad \begin{array}{c} A_{11} \\ X A_{11} \quad X A_{11}+S \end{array} \end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ll} A_{11} & A_{12} \\ A_{21} & A_{22} \end{array}\right] \\ \text { So, } \\ \qquad \begin{array}{rl} A_{11}=A_{11} & A_{11} Y=A_{12} \\ X A_{11}=A_{21} & X A_{11}+S=A_{22} \end{array} \end{array} \] Because the (1,2) blocks are equal, $A_{11} Y=A_{12} .$ since $A_{11}$ is invertible, left multiplication by $A_{11}^{-1}$ gives $Y=A_{11}^{-1} A_{12}$. Likewise since the (2,1) block are equal, $X A_{11}=A_{21}$. since $A_{11}$ is invertible, right multiplication by $A_{11}^{-11}$ gives that $X=A_{21} A_{11}^{-1}$. One can check that the matrix $S$ as given in the exercise satisfies the equation $X A_{11} Y+S=A_{22}$ with the calculated values of $X$ and $Y$ given above,
