Homework Statement



Find the transition matrix from B to C and find [x]C

B = {(3,1), (-1,-2)}
C = {(1,-3),(5,0)}

[x]B = [-1 -2]T

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


No clue :(

Well, if you call your transition matrix [itex]T[/itex], then

[tex]\begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ -3 \end{pmatrix}= T \begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix}[/tex]

and

[tex]\begin{pmatrix} 5 \\ 0 \end{pmatrix}=T \begin{pmatrix} -1 \\ -2 \end{pmatrix}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 5 \\ -3 & 0 \end{pmatrix}= T \begin{pmatrix} 3 & -1 \\ 1 & -2 \end{pmatrix}[/tex]

...is that enough to get you started?
