Answer

$$ P^{-1}=\left[ \begin {array}{cccccc} 1&3&2\\ 2 &-1&2\\ 5&6&1\end {array} \right] $$

Work Step by Step

Given $$ B=\{(1,3,2),(2,-1,2),(5,6,1)\}, \quad B^{\prime}=\{(1,0,0),(0,1,0),(0,0,1)\}. $$ To find the transition matrix from $B$ to $B^{\prime}$, we form the matrix $$ \left[B^{\prime} B\right]= \left[ \begin {array}{cccccc} 1&0&0&1&3&2\\ \ 0&1&0&2 &-1&2\\ 0&0&1&5&6&1\end {array} \right] .$$ Using Gauss-Jordan elimination to obtain the transition matrix $$ \left[\begin{array}{ll}{I_{3}} & {P^{-1}}\end{array}\right]= \left[ \begin {array}{cccccc} 1&0&0&1&3&2\\ \ 0&1&0&2 &-1&2\\ 0&0&1&5&6&1\end {array} \right] .$$ So, we have $$ P^{-1}=\left[ \begin {array}{cccccc} 1&3&2\\ 2 &-1&2\\ 5&6&1\end {array} \right] $$
