A little question about orthonormal basis.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was reading a book and I find: If B and B' are orthonormal basis then: \[\left [ B' \right ]_{B}^{-1}=\left [ B' \right ]_{B}^{t}\] I was using: C={(1,0,0),(0,1,0),(0,0,1)} B={(1/3^(1/2),1/2^(1/2),1/2^(1/2)),(-1/3^(1/2),0,-1/2^(1/2)),(1/3^(1/2),1/2^(1/2),0)} And \[\left [ B' \right ]_{C}^{-1}\neq\left [ B' \right ]_{C}^{t}\] What's wrong?
