To solve these questions, let’s go through each part of the problem:

### Given Data:
- Bases:
  \( B = \{(3, -1), (-2, 1)\} \)
  \( B' = \{(-12, 0), (-4, 4)\} \)
- Coordinate vector in basis \( B \):
  \[
  [x]_B = \begin{bmatrix} -1 \\ 3 \end{bmatrix}
  \]

### Solution Steps

#### (a) Find the transition matrix from \( B \) to \( B' \), denoted as \( P^{-1} \).

1. To find \( P^{-1} \), we express each vector in \( B \) as a linear combination of the vectors in \( B' \).
2. Suppose \( (3, -1) = a(-12, 0) + b(-4, 4) \) and solve for \( a \) and \( b \).
3. Similarly, for \( (-2, 1) = c(-12, 0) + d(-4, 4) \), solve for \( c \) and \( d \).

This computation gives us the matrix \( P^{-1} \), which appears to have been correctly filled in as:
\[
P^{-1} = \begin{bmatrix} -1/6 & 1/12 \\ -1/4 & 1/4 \end{bmatrix}
\]

#### (b) Find the transition matrix from \( B' \) to \( B \), denoted as \( P \).

Since \( P \) is the inverse of \( P^{-1} \), we can compute \( P \) by finding the inverse of \( P^{-1} \):
\[
P = \begin{bmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{bmatrix}
\]

I'll calculate this matrix explicitly. 

#### (c) Verify that \( P \) and \( P^{-1} \) are inverses of each other.

To verify this, we need to check that \( PP^{-1} = I \) and \( P^{-1}P = I \), where \( I \) is the identity matrix. This is shown as a matrix multiplication check.

#### (d) Find the coordinate matrix \( [x]_B \), given \( [x]_{B'} \).

Using the relationship:
\[
[x]_B = P [x]_{B'}
\]
we can multiply \( P \) by \( [x]_{B'} \) to find \( [x]_B \).
