Question 1182632: Given the representation matrix of a linear transformation over the basis B, how to find a basis for a different representation matrix for the same linear transformation in which a certain condition is required?
For example:
V = R2[x] (all the polynomials of power 2 or less over Real numbers)
Given the following basis:
B= {1, 1+x, x^2 -1}
Defining T: V -> V a linear transformation as following:
T(1) = 4 - 3x^2
T(1+x) = 4 + 4x + 3x^2
T(x^2 -1) = x^2 - 4
The representative matrix of T is:
1 3 -3
0 4 0 = [T]B
-3 3 1
If given that T is diagonalizable, and the eigenvalues of it are { 4, 4, -2}
Find a basis of V for which the representation matrix is a diagonal matrix.

Question 1181409: Given the following matrices over Z5:
b1 b4 b7
b2 b5 b8 = B
b3 b6 b9
r(B)= 3
For easier understanding let’s say that bi is the column i in matrix B.
A is a matrix of dimensions 3x3 in which the following exists:
K = { (b1+b3) , (2b2-b3) } is a basis for the equation: Ax=0.
r(A)=1
Also:
1 2 4
3 1 2 =A*B
1 2 4
r(AB)=2.

1) find a vector basis for the vector space that is A’s columns.
2) given the following:
K = { (1,2,0) , (0,1,1) }
Find a reduced echelon form (C) for A.

Question 1178478: This question requires a confusion matrix. I am unsure how to calculate the accuracy given the percentages. How do I go about this? Thanks. :)
Both model A and model B achieves 80% accuracy on the balanced population, but changes to 64% and 96% accuracy respectively on the true unbalanced population. If the population is more skewed with 5% positive and 95% negative, what are the accuracies for each model?(The training population is 1,000 and the confusion matrix for model A is [500 200]
[0 300]
The confusion matrix for model B is [300 0]
[200 500]).

Question 1177662: The verbiage in this question is confusing me so much that I don't even know where to start. Any help in explaining and solving would be greatly appreciated.
The following table shows the amount spent by four U.S. airlines to fly one available seat 1 mile in the second quarter of 2014. Set up a system and then solve using technology.
// The table shows:
Airline ==> United Continental - American - Jet Blue - Southwest
Cost(in cents)==> 14.9, 14.6, 11.9, 12.4

Suppose that, on a 3,000-mile New York to Los Angeles flight, United Continental, American, and Southwest flew a total of 235 empty seats, costing them a total of $99,060. If United Continental had three times as many empty seats as American, how many empty seats did each of these three airlines carry on its flight?

0 0 -2 2 -2 1
1 -4 -2 -1 -1 -2
I tried the following. I am not sure how to get the other numbers.
4x2 + -4x2 + -3x-1=3
0x0 + 0x-2 + -2x-1=-2
1x2 + -4x1 + -2x-2=2

P = a𝑄𝑠+b (a>0, b>0)
P = - c𝑄𝐷+d (c>0, d>0)
a. Show that in matrix notation the equilibrium price, P, and quantity, Q satisfy.
