Finding the Transition Matrix and [x]C for B and C Vectors

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on finding the transition matrix T from basis B to basis C, where B = {(3,1), (-1,-2)} and C = {(1,-3),(5,0)}. The user attempts to establish the relationship between the vectors in B and C using the equation T * B = C, leading to the matrix equation T * [3 -1; 1 -2] = [1 5; -3 0]. This approach is essential for solving linear transformations in vector spaces.

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?
