Let P2 denote the vector space of all polynomials with degree less than or equal to 2. (a) Show that B = {1 + x + x^2, 1 + 2x - x^2, 1 - 2x - x^2} is a basis for P2. (b) Find the coordinate vector of p(x) = 1 + 2x + 3x^2 relative to the basis B.

In the vector space $P_{3}$ of all $p(x)=a_{0}+a_{1} x+a_{2} x^{2}+a_{3} x^{3}$, let $\mathbf{S}$ be the subset of polynomials with $\int_{0}^{1} p(x) d x=0$. Verify that $\mathbf{S}$ is a subspace and find a basis.

Let $p_{1}(x)=1+x, p_{2}(x)=-x+x^{2},$ and $p_{3}(x)=$ $1+2 x^{2} .$ Determine the component vector of an arbitrary polynomial $p(x)=a_{0}+a_{1} x+a_{2} x^{2}$ relative to the basis $\left\{p_{1}, p_{2}, p_{3}\right\}.$
