Math 235Sample Midterm 21.Short Answer Problemsa) SupposeL:VWis a linear mapping, whereVis a vector space with a basisB={~v1, . . . ,~vn}andWis a vector space with a basisC={~w1, . . . , ~wm}. DefineC[L]B, thematrix ofLwith respect to basesBandC.
b) LetB={~v1, . . . ,~vn}be orthonormal in an inner product spaceVand let~vVsuch that~v=a1~v1+· · ·+an~vn. Prove thatai=h~v,~vii.

2.Suppose the matrix of a linear mappingL:R3P2(R) with respect to the standardbases isA=1111010-11.Find the inverse ofAand use it to define the inverse linear mappingL-1:P2(R)R3.-12-11-101-11. This is the matrix ofL-1with respect to the standard basis. From here, we get
