Yes, it looks correct. Good job!

In summary, the question asks to find the matrix B of a linear transformation T with respect to a new basis {f1,f2,f3}, given that the matrix with respect to the standard basis {e1,e2,e3} is given. The solution involves using the inverse of the matrix with respect to the standard basis to transform the original matrix to the new basis, resulting in B. However, it seems that in the attempt at a solution, an inverse sign was dropped and the simplification to the final matrix B is unclear.

there is an inverse sign, that you don't seem to carry later on

so based on the question we have the linear transform, in the e basis given by say:

[tex] u^e = T^e.v^e[/tex]

with
[tex] T^e=[/tex]
[tex]\[ \left( \begin{array}{ccc}1 & 1 &1 \\1 & 1 & 0\\ 1 & 0 & 0\\\end{array} \right)^{-1}\] [/tex]

looks ok here, based on the defintion of the basis, the matrix A transforms a vector from the f basis to the e basis, so
[tex] u^e = A.u^f [/tex]

and using the inverse
[tex] u^f = A^{-1}.u^e [/tex]

now looking at the transformation relation
[tex] u^f = A^{-1}u^e = A^{-1}T^e.v^e = A^{-1}T^e(Av^f) = (A^{-1}T^eA)v^f[/tex]

the matrix B in the f basis is
[tex] u^f = (A^{-1}T^eA)v^f = B v^f[/tex]

now unless I'm following wrong, it looks like you've dropped an inverse sign, and I'm not too sure how you simplify to get to the next line in any case...

FAQ: Yes, it looks correct. Good job!

What is a change of basis matrix?

A change of basis matrix is a mathematical transformation that allows you to change the coordinate system used to describe a vector. It is used to convert the coordinates of a vector from one basis to another.

Why is a change of basis matrix important in linear algebra?

A change of basis matrix is important in linear algebra because it allows you to simplify calculations and solve problems in different coordinate systems. It is also essential in applications such as computer graphics and quantum mechanics.

How do you calculate a change of basis matrix?

The change of basis matrix can be calculated by first finding the coordinates of the basis vectors in the new basis and then arranging them as columns in a matrix. This matrix is then multiplied by the vector expressed in the old basis to obtain the vector in the new basis.

What are the properties of a change of basis matrix?

A change of basis matrix is a square matrix, meaning it has the same number of rows and columns. It is also invertible, meaning it has an inverse that can be used to convert back to the original basis. Additionally, the determinant of a change of basis matrix is non-zero.

How is a change of basis matrix used in real-world applications?

Change of basis matrices are used in a variety of real-world applications, such as engineering, physics, and economics. For example, in engineering, they are used to transform coordinates in 3D space. In physics, they are used to describe the behavior of quantum particles in different coordinate systems. In economics, they are used to analyze the relationships between different variables.
