Don't know how to answer: Let β = {1 − x, 2x + x 2 , 3 + 2x 2 } is a base of p2 ...

1.Let β = {1 − x, 2x + x 2 , 3 + 2x 2 } is a base of p2 (the vector space of the polynomials of degree less than or equal to 2).
two. On P2 consider the inner product
< u, v >= a0b0 + a1b1 + a2b2
where u = a0 + a1x + a2x^2 and v = b0 + b1x + b2x^2 are two vectors from P2.
a)Verify that the base β is orthogonal to this inner product.
b)Find an orthogonal basis for P2, according to the inner product presented.
c)Find an orthonormal basis for P2, according to the inner product presented.
 
You're not supposed to know the answer. You are asked to "verify" and "find"(x2).

What does Orthogonal mean? How do you demonstrate it with an Inner Product?

How do you find a Basis?
