Math Problem Statement

the index of x^4 in each vector needs to be -2000

Solution

Given the additional constraint that the coefficient of x4x^4 in each polynomial basis vector must be -2000, we need to adjust our basis vectors accordingly. Let's construct the basis:

We start by ensuring that each polynomial p(x)p(x) in the basis satisfies p(1)=p(1)=0p(1) = p'(1) = 0 and the coefficient of x4x^4 is -2000.

Consider the following basis vectors:

  1. p1(x)=2000(x1)2xp_1(x) = -2000(x-1)^2 x
  2. p2(x)=2000(x1)3xp_2(x) = -2000(x-1)^3 x
  3. p3(x)=2000(x1)2x2p_3(x) = -2000(x-1)^2 x^2

These polynomials satisfy the conditions p(1)=p(1)=0p(1) = p'(1) = 0, and the coefficient of x4x^4 is -2000 in each case.

Therefore, the basis BB is:

B={2000(x1)2x,2000(x1)3x,2000(x1)2x2}B = \{ -2000(x-1)^2 x, -2000(x-1)^3 x, -2000(x-1)^2 x^2 \}
