What Is a Transition Matrix?
A transition matrix helps find the coordinates of vectors from one basis to another basis.
For instance, consider two bases $$$U=\left\{\mathbf{\vec{u_1}}=\left[\begin{array}{c}1\\2\end{array}\right],\mathbf{\vec{u_2}}=\left[\begin{array}{c}3\\4\end{array}\right]\right\}$$$ and $$$W=\left\{\mathbf{\vec{w_1}}=\left[\begin{array}{c}5\\6\end{array}\right],\mathbf{\vec{w_2}}=\left[\begin{array}{c}7\\8\end{array}\right]\right\}$$$. If the coordinates of a vector in $$$U$$$ are $$$\langle9,10\rangle$$$, find the coordinates of this vector in $$$W$$$.
The steps are the following:
Find the inverse of $$$W$$$:
$$W^{-1}=\left[\begin{array}{cc}-4&\frac{7}{2}\\3&-\frac{5}{2}\end{array}\right]$$Find the transition matrix by multiplying the matrices:
$$W^{-1}U=\left[\begin{array}{cc}3&2\\-2&-1\end{array}\right]$$Find the coordinates by multiplying the transition matrix by the vector:
$$\left[\begin{array}{cc}3&2\\-2&-1\end{array}\right]\cdot\left[\begin{array}{c}9\\10\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{c}47\\-28\end{array}\right]$$
Thus, the coordinates of the vector in $$$W$$$ are $$$\langle47,-28\rangle$$$.
Transition Matrix Calculator: How Does It Work?
Consider $$$U=\left\{\mathbf{\vec{u_1}},\mathbf{\vec{u_2}},\ldots,\mathbf{\vec{u_n}}\right\}$$$ and $$$W=\left\{\mathbf{\vec{w_1}},\mathbf{\vec{w_2}},\ldots,\mathbf{\vec{w_n}}\right\}$$$ to be two bases of a vector space $$$V$$$. The transition matrix $$$P$$$ from $$$U$$$ to $$$W$$$ can be found using the formula $$$P=W^{-1}U$$$.
However, to avoid finding the matrix inverse and multiplying the matrices, the calculator does the following: it performs row operations on the augmented matrix. Essentially, it is the same, but there are fewer operations.
