Solution
The first step in solving 4.5 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Let be the subspace of \(P_{3}\) spanned by the vectors\(p_{1}=1+5 x-3 x^{2}-11 x^{3}, \quad p_{2}=7+4 x-x^{2}+2 x^{3}\) \(p_{3}=5+x+9 x^{2}+2 x^{3}, \quad p_{4}=3-x+7 x^{2}+5 x^{3}\)a. Find a basis for .b. Find the coordinate vector of \(p=19+18 x-13 x^{2}-10 x^{3}\) relative to the basis you obtained in part (a).
From the textbook chapter Coordinates and Basis you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
