Answer

$$[x]_{B'}=\left[ \begin {array}{ccc} 1\\ -1\\2 \end {array} \right].$$

Work Step by Step

Writing $x$ as a linear combination of the basis $B'$ as follows $$x=(3,19,2)= a(8,11,0)+b(7,0,10)+c(1,4,6).$$ We get the system \begin{align*} 8a+7b+c&=3\\ 11a+4c&=19\\ 10b++6c&=2. \end{align*} By solving the above system we have the soluiton $$a=1, \quad b=-1, \quad c=2.$$ Thus, the coordinate matrix of $x$ in $R^3$ relative to the basis $B'$ is $$[x]_{B'}=\left[ \begin {array}{ccc} 1\\ -1\\2 \end {array} \right].$$
