Homework Statement
Let B be a basis of R^2 consisting of the vectors <5,2> and <1,5> and let R be the basis consisting of <2,3> and <1,2>
Find a matrix P such that [x]_r=P[x]_b for all x in R^2
Homework Equations
Ax=B?
The Attempt at a Solution
I attempted by using Ax=B as a format to solve for P, or x in the equation. I took the inverse of the column matrix of B because B is a basis, and if I am correct, a matrix's basis is defined as its coordinates ([x]_b).
I understand the geometrical interpretation of a linear transformation, yet I have no idea how to represent the transformation as a matrix. I would love an in depth description to approach similar exercises.
