Question: Find the dual basis, as defined in Exercise 7.1.32, for the monomial basis of P (2) with respect to the L 2 inner product Data

Find the dual basis, as defined in Exercise 7.1.32, for the monomial basis of P(2) with respect to the L2 inner product -1 (p, q): = [ p(x) q(x) dx. P



Data From Exercise 7.1.32


Dual Bases: Given a basis v1, . . . , vof V, the dual basis ℓ1, . . . , ℓn of V∗ consists of  the linear functions uniquely defined by the requirements image


(a) Show that ℓi[v] = xgives the ith coordinate of a vector v = x1v1 + · · · + xnvn with respect to the given basis. 


(b) Prove that the dual basis is indeed a basis for the dual vector space. 


(c) Prove that if V = Rand A = (vv2 . . . vn) is the n × n matrix whose columns are the basis vectors, then the rows of the inverse matrix A−1 can be identified as the corresponding dual basis of (Rn).

-1 (p, q): = [ p(x) q(x) dx. P
