1. Suppose the vector space V = P2 : the set of all polynomials of degree less than or
equal to 2. Find the transition matrix PB→C , where the B and C are two basis for V
given by B = {−4 + x − 6x2 , 6 + 2x2 , −6 − 2x + 4x2 } and C = {1 − x + 3x2 , 2, 3 + x2 }.

vectors from A.
5. Suppose taht B and C are ordered bases for a nontrivial n-dimensional vector space V
and let P be an n × n matrix. Then prove that P is the transition matrix from B to C
if and only if for every v belongs to V, P [v]B = [v]C .
6. Find the rank and nullity of the matrix A given below, then verify the ”Dimension
