    Q1: Let $V = \mathcal{P}2$ be the vector space of polynomials with degree less or equal than $2$ and $\mathcal{B} = (m_0, m_1, m_2)$ be the standard monomial basis. What is $\Phi{\mathcal{B}}(p)$ if $p$ is the polynomial $p(x) = x^2 - x^1 +8$?

    A1: $\begin{pmatrix} 8 \ -1 \ 1 \end{pmatrix}$

    A2: $\begin{pmatrix} 1 \ -1 \ 8 \end{pmatrix}$

    A3: $\begin{pmatrix} -1 \ 1 \ 8 \end{pmatrix}$

    A4: $\begin{pmatrix} 8 \ 1 \end{pmatrix}$

    Q2: Let $V = \mathcal{P}_2$ be the real vector space of polynomials with degree less or equal than $2$ and $\mathcal{B} = (m_0, m_1, m_2)$ be the standard monomial basis. Moreover, let $p(x) = x^2 - x^1 +8$ be a polynomial and $\mathcal{C} = (m_0, m_1, p)$ be another basis. What is correct for the polynomial $q(x) = x^2$

    A1: $\Phi_{\mathcal{B}}(q) = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \ 0 \ 1 \end{pmatrix}$ and $\Phi_{\mathcal{C}}(q) = \begin{pmatrix} -8 \ 1 \ 1 \end{pmatrix}$

    A2: $\Phi_{\mathcal{B}}(q) = \begin{pmatrix} 8 \ -1 \ 1 \end{pmatrix}$ and $\Phi_{\mathcal{C}}(q) = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \ 1 \ 1 \end{pmatrix}$

    A3: $\Phi_{\mathcal{B}}(q) = \begin{pmatrix} 8 \ 1 \ -1 \end{pmatrix}$ and $\Phi_{\mathcal{C}}(q) = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \ 1 \ 1 \end{pmatrix}$

    A4: $\Phi_{\mathcal{B}}(q) = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \ 1 \ 1 \end{pmatrix}$ and $\Phi_{\mathcal{C}}(q) = \begin{pmatrix} 8 \ -1 \ 1 \end{pmatrix}$

    Q3: Let $V$ be an $n$-dimensional vector space and $\mathcal{B}$ and $\mathcal{C}$ be two bases in $V$. How is the change of basis map $f$ for going from $\mathcal{B}$ to the new basis $\mathcal{C}$ defined?

    A1: $f: \mathbb{F}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{F}^n$ given by $f(x) = \Phi_{\mathcal{C}} \Phi_{\mathcal{B}}^{-1}(x)$

    A2: $f: \mathbb{F}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{F}^n$ given by $f(x) = \Phi_{\mathcal{B}} \Phi_{\mathcal{C}}^{-1}(x)$

    A3: $f: \mathbb{F}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{F}$ given by $f(x) = \Phi_{\mathcal{B}} \Phi_{\mathcal{B}}^{-1}(x)$

    A4: $f: \mathbb{F} \rightarrow \mathbb{F}^n$ given by $f(x) = \Phi_{\mathcal{B}} \Phi_{\mathcal{C}}^{-1}(x)$
