change of bases... I honestly don't know what's going on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

linear algebr, be more specific.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like, given two bases how do you find the change-of-bases matrix to change between them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that would be the transition matrix from b to b'.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nomenclature aside, how is it found?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you're given two bases? what are they?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it depends, i just need to know the general procedure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let b = {v1,v2,...vn} and b' = {u1,u2,...un} be two bases for R^n. Then the transistion matrix from b to b' can be found by using Gauss-Jordan elemination on the n x 2n matrix [b':b]...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

perfect thanks bruh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

[b':b] ---> [I;p^-1]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

rref your augmented matrix b:b' and it gives you the identity matrix augmented with your transistion matrix (p^-1=transition matrix).
