[Tex/LaTex] Undefined control sequence for equation

amsmatherrorsmath-mode

I am running into the error message !Undefined control sequence with the below explanation and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I am using Mactex and Texmaker. I am new to LaTeX and would really appreciate your help!

! Undefined control sequence.
\beamer@doifinframe ...\par \begin {equation*} \x
(k) = \left ( \begin {arra...
l.123 \end{frame}
%
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

I've inserted a begin-math/end-math symbol since I think
you left one out. Proceed, with fingers crossed.

\x is udefined. You probably wanted to have x(k) = \left( instead of \x(k) = \left( just before \begin{array}.
