Finding the Transition Matrix and Coordinates with Respect to a Different Basis

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on finding the transition matrix from the ordered basis B = {(1,1,1),(1,2,2),(2,3,4)} to the standard basis B' of R3. The correct method involves expressing the standard basis vectors in terms of the vectors from basis B. The transition matrix is constructed by taking the coefficients of the linear combinations of the basis vectors. Additionally, the coordinates of the vector (1,2,3)T with respect to basis B can be determined using this transition matrix.

Homework Statement


Let B = {(1,1,1),(1,2,2),(2,3,4)} be an ordered basis of R3, and let B` be the standard basis of R3.

Find the transition matrix from B to B` and use it to find the coordinates of (1,2,3)T with respect to B.


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


Is it correct to apply the following?
u1 = 1(u`1) + 1(u`2) + 1(u`3)
u2 = 1(u`1) + 2(u`2) + 2(u`3)
u3 = 2(u`1) + 3(u`2) + 4(u`3)

How is the transition matrix from B to B' defined? If it's defined the way I think, you should express the primed basis vectors in terms of the unprimed, not the other way round.
