Answer

$$[x]_B=\left[ 3 \quad -5 \quad 11\right]^T.$$

Work Step by Step

Let $x=(3,-5,11)$ and $B=\{ (1,0,0),(0,1,0),(0,0,1) \}$ To find the coordinates of $x$ relative to $B$, we have to find the following; $$\langle (3,-5,11),(1,0,0)\rangle = 3$$ $$\langle (3,-5,11),(0,1,0)\rangle = -5$$ $$\langle (3,-5,11),(0,0,1)\rangle = 11.$$ Then, the coordinate matrix of $x$ relative to $B$ is given by $$[x]_B=\left[ 3 \quad -5 \quad 11\right]^T.$$
