P    ← 

 from  to .

Solution

To find the change-of-basis matrix PBCP_{B \leftarrow C}, which converts coordinates from basis CC to basis BB, we need to express each vector in basis CC in terms of the basis BB.

Given

Basis BB:

B={(100),(010),(001)}B = \left\{ \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 0 \\ 0 \end{pmatrix}, \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 1 \\ 0 \end{pmatrix}, \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \right\}

Basis CC:

C={(111),(011),(001)}C = \left\{ \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 1 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix}, \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 1 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix}, \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \right\}

We need to write the vectors of CC in terms of the standard basis BB.

Step-by-Step Solution

To find the change-of-basis matrix PBCP_{B \leftarrow C}, we can use the following method:

  1. Construct the matrix CC whose columns are the coordinates of the vectors of CC in the standard basis BB.
  2. Since the basis BB is the standard basis, the change-of-basis matrix PBCP_{B \leftarrow C} is simply the inverse of matrix CC.

Let's construct matrix CC: C=(100110111)C = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 1 & 1 & 0 \\ 1 & 1 & 1 \end{pmatrix}

Next, we find the inverse of matrix CC to obtain PBCP_{B \leftarrow C}.

Finding the Inverse of CC

The matrix CC is: C=(100110111)C = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 1 & 1 & 0 \\ 1 & 1 & 1 \end{pmatrix}

To find C1C^{-1}, we perform the following steps:

  1. Augment CC with the identity matrix:
1 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 1 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 1 & 1 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 1 \end{array} \right)$$ 2. Use row operations to reduce $$C$$ to the identity matrix. **Step 1**: Subtract the first row from the second and third rows: $$\left( \begin{array}{ccc|ccc} 1 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & -1 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 1 & -1 & 0 & 1 \end{array} \right)$$ **Step 2**: Subtract the second row from the third row: $$\left( \begin{array}{ccc|ccc} 1 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & -1 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & -1 & 1 \end{array} \right)$$ Now, we have: $$\left( \begin{array}{ccc|ccc} 1 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & -1 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & -1 & 1 \end{array} \right)$$ The augmented part is now the inverse of $$C$$: $$C^{-1} = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ -1 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & -1 & 1 \end{pmatrix}$$ So, the change-of-basis matrix $$P_{B \leftarrow C}$$ is: $$P_{B \leftarrow C} = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ -1 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & -1 & 1 \end{pmatrix}$$ ### Summary The change-of-basis matrix from basis $$C$$ to basis $$B$$ is: $$P_{B \leftarrow C} = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ -1 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & -1 & 1 \end{pmatrix}$$ Would you like details or have any questions?
