Answer

$[(7-4x)]_C=(3,2)\\ [5x]_C=(-2,1)\\ P_{C \leftarrow B}=\begin{bmatrix} 3& -2\\ 2 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$

Work Step by Step

We know that: $a_1(1-2x)+a_2(2+x)=(7-4x)$ $b_1(1-2x)+b_2(2+x)=5x$ To find $[7-4x]_C$: $a_1(1-2x)+a_2(2+x)=(7-4x)\\ a_1-2a_1x+2a_2+a_2x=7-4x\\ (a_1+2a_2)+(-2a_1+a_2)=7-4x\\$ Thus $a_1+2a_2=7\\ -2a_1+a_2=-4 \\ a_1+2a_2-2(-2a_1+a_2)=7-2(-4) \rightarrow 5a_1=15 \rightarrow a_1=3\\ -2.3+a_2=-4 \rightarrow a_2=2$ To find $[5x]_{C}:$ $b_1(1-2x)+b_2(2+x)=5x\\ b_1-2b_1x+2b_2+b_2x=5x\\ (b_1+2b_2)+x(-2b_1+b_2)=5x$ Thus $b_1+2b_2=0\\ -2b_1+b_2=5\\ b_1+2b_2-2(-2b_1+b_2)=0-2.5 \rightarrow 5b_1=-10 \rightarrow b_1=-2\\ -2(-2)+b_2=5 \rightarrow b_2=1$ Hence we have: $[(7-4x)]_C=(3,2)\\ [5x]_C=(-2,1)\\ P_{C \leftarrow B}=\begin{bmatrix} 3& -2\\ 2 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$
