Solution
Given coded matrix:
C=112043251041221441
and encoding matrix:
A=112101−111
Decoding uses:
P=A−1C
Compute A−1:
A−1=1−1−12−3−1−121
Now:
P=A−1C=8151242769185
Interpret numbers (1→A,…,26→Z, 27→ space):
- Column 1: (8,15,12)→(H,O,L)
- Column 2: (4,27,6)→(D,space,F)
- Column 3: (9,18,5)→(I,R,E)
So the decoded message is:
