Linear Algebra Change Matrices: Seems too simple

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the concept of change matrices in linear algebra, specifically the notation CA(v) for a vector v expressed in terms of an ordered basis A in Rn. The user clarifies that A consists of basis vectors {e1, ... en} and that the vector v can be represented as a linear combination of these basis vectors. The conclusion is that CA(v) is correctly defined as the column vector [v1 ... vn]T, where v1, ..., vn are the coefficients of the linear combination.

PREREQUISITES

Homework Statement


EDIT: There turns out to be a problem with the question, that's why it wasn't working. If anyone sees it they're just going to get confused, so I'm taking it off.

Never heard of "CA(v)", but if it's what you defined it to be, this looks correct.
 
Oh, well maybe I should give the definition! That probably would have been a good idea, haha.

A is an ordered basis in Rn and A = {e1, ... en}

v is a vector in Rn, and v = v1e1 + ... + vnen for some numbers v1 ... vn.

Then CA(v) = [v1 ... vn]T.
