Answer

$$ P^{-1}=\left[ \begin {array}{cccccc} {\frac {25}{11}}&{\frac {14}{11}} &{\frac {16}{11}}\\ {\frac {9}{11}}&{\frac {9} {11}}&\frac{4}{11}\\ \frac{1}{11}&\frac{1}{11}&{\frac {9}{11}} \end {array} \right]. $$

Work Step by Step

Given $$ B=\{(3,2,1),(1,1,2),(1,2,0)\}, \quad B^{\prime}=\{(1,1,-1),(0,1,2),(-1,4,0)\}. $$ To find the transition matrix from $B$ to $B^{\prime}$, we form the matrix $$ \left[B^{\prime} B\right]= \left[ \begin {array}{cccccc} 1&1&-1&3&2&1\\ 0&1&2& 1&1&2\\ -1&4&0&1&2&0\end {array} \right] .$$ Using Gauss-Jordan elimination to obtain the transition matrix $$ \left[\begin{array}{ll}{I_{3}} & {P^{-1}}\end{array}\right]= \left[ \begin {array}{cccccc} 1&0&0&{\frac {25}{11}}&{\frac {14}{11}} &{\frac {16}{11}}\\ 0&1&0&{\frac {9}{11}}&{\frac {9} {11}}&\frac{4}{11}\\ 0&0&1&\frac{1}{11}&\frac{1}{11}&{\frac {9}{11}} \end {array} \right] .$$ So, we have $$ P^{-1}=\left[ \begin {array}{cccccc} {\frac {25}{11}}&{\frac {14}{11}} &{\frac {16}{11}}\\ {\frac {9}{11}}&{\frac {9} {11}}&\frac{4}{11}\\ \frac{1}{11}&\frac{1}{11}&{\frac {9}{11}} \end {array} \right]. $$
