Let me analyze the problem presented in the uploaded image. Here's what I understand from it:

We are dealing with a vector space $P_2$, which consists of polynomials of degree 2 or less. Two ordered bases for this space are provided:

• Basis $B$: $\{ 2 + x + x^2, \, 2x + x^2, \, 3 + 3x + 2x^2 \}$
• Basis $C$: $\{ 2, \, x, \, 2 + x^2 \}$

The tasks are:

1. Find the change of basis matrix from $B$ to $C$, denoted as $[id]_C^B$.
2. Find the change of basis matrix from $C$ to $B$, denoted as $[id]_B^C$.

I'll now provide a step-by-step explanation for solving this.

Step 1: Change of Basis Matrix $[id]_C^B$

To find the change of basis matrix from $B$ to $C$, we express each vector in $B$ as a linear combination of the vectors in $C$. This means solving for coefficients in:

$v_i^B = c_1 \cdot (2) + c_2 \cdot (x) + c_3 \cdot (2 + x^2),$ for $v_i^B$ in $B$.

Example: $v_1^B = 2 + x + x^2$

Set $2 + x + x^2 = c_1 \cdot 2 + c_2 \cdot x + c_3 \cdot (2 + x^2)$.

Equating coefficients:

• Constant term: $2 = 2c_1 + 2c_3$
• Coefficient of $x$: $1 = c_2$
• Coefficient of $x^2$: $1 = c_3$

Solve this system to find $c_1, c_2, c_3$. Repeat the process for the other vectors in $B$.

Step 2: Change of Basis Matrix $[id]_B^C$

The inverse of $[id]_C^B$ will yield $[id]_B^C$. After finding $[id]_C^B$, compute its inverse.
