The Fourier transform of function [tex]\(f(t)\)[/tex] is given by: [tex]\[F(\omega) = \frac{-(1/4 + j\omega)}{1/16 + \omega^2}\][/tex]

To find the Fourier transform of the function [tex]\(f(t)\)[/tex] given by:

[tex]\[f(t) = \begin{cases} e^{-t/4} & \text{for } t > 0 \\0 & \text{otherwise} \\\end{cases}\][/tex]

The Fourier transform of [tex]\(f(t)\)[/tex] is defined as:

[tex]\[F(\omega) = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} f(t) \cdot e^{-j\omega t} dt\][/tex]

Let's calculate the Fourier transform using this definition:

For

[tex]\(t > 0\), \(f(t) = e^{-t/4}\)\[F(\omega) = \int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-t/4} \cdot e^{-j\omega t} dt\][/tex]

We can simplify this integral by factoring out the common exponential term:

[tex]\[F(\omega) = \int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-(1/4 + j\omega) t} dt\][/tex]

Now, we can evaluate this integral:

[tex]\[F(\omega) = \left[ \frac{e^{-(1/4 + j\omega) t}}{-(1/4 + j\omega)} \right]_{0}^{\infty}\][/tex]

To evaluate the integral, we consider the limit as t approaches infinity:

[tex]\[F(\omega) = \lim_{t\to\infty} \frac{e^{-(1/4 + j\omega) t}}{-(1/4 + j\omega)} - \frac{e^{-(1/4 + j\omega) \cdot 0}}{-(1/4 + j\omega)}\][/tex]

Since [tex]\(e^{-(1/4 + j\omega) \cdot 0} = e^0 = 1\)[/tex], the second term simplifies to:

[tex]\[F(\omega) = \lim_{t\to\infty} \frac{e^{-(1/4 + j\omega) t} - 1}{-(1/4 + j\omega)}\][/tex]

Now, let's simplify the expression further. We can multiply the numerator and denominator by the complex conjugate of the denominator to rationalize it:

[tex]\[F(\omega) = \lim_{t\to\infty} \frac{e^{-(1/4 + j\omega) t} - 1}{-(1/4 + j\omega)} \cdot \frac{(-1/4 + j\omega)}{(-1/4 + j\omega)}\]\[F(\omega) = \lim_{t\to\infty} \frac{(e^{-(1/4 + j\omega) t} - 1)(-1/4 + j\omega)}{1/16 + \omega^2}\][/tex]

Now, we can evaluate the limit. As t approaches infinity, the exponential term [tex]\(e^{-(1/4 + j\omega) t}\)[/tex] will tend to zero if the real part of the exponent [tex]\(-1/4\)[/tex]  is negative. Therefore, we need [tex]\(-1/4 < 0\)[/tex]  which is true.

Using L'Hopital's rule, we can differentiate the numerator and denominator with respect to t:

[tex]\[F(\omega) = \frac{\lim_{t\to\infty} \left[ \frac{d}{dt} (e^{-(1/4 + j\omega) t} - 1)(-1/4 + j\omega) \right]}{1/16 + \omega^2}\]\[F(\omega) = \frac{\lim_{t\to\infty} \left[ -(1/4 + j\omega) e^{-(1/4 + j\omega) t} \right]}{1/16 + \omega^2}\][/tex]

Finally, simplifying the expression further, we get:

[tex]\[F(\omega) = \frac{-(1/4 + j\omega)}{1/16 + \omega^2}\][/tex]

Therefore, the Fourier transform of [tex]\(f(t)\)[/tex] is given by:

[tex]\[F(\omega) = \frac{-(1/4 + j\omega)}{1/16 + \omega^2}\][/tex]

The approximation of I = ∫ cos (x² + 5) dx using simple Simpson's rule is 0. 54869.

Given ∫ cos (x² + 5) dx, we have :

f ( x ) = Cos ( x² + 5 )

f ( 0 ) = Cos (0² + 5 )

= Cos ( 5 )

= 0. 2837

f ( 0. 25 ) = Cos ( 0.25 ² + 5 )

= 0. 343

f ( 0. 5 ) = Cos ( 0. 5 ² + 5 )

= 0. 5121

f ( 0. 75 ) = Cos ( 0. 75 ² + 5 )

The function is f(x)=1-2x^2-x^3$. End behavior is a way to talk about what happens to the graph as x approaches positive or negative infinity. End behavior is a term that describes the way a graph approaches infinity as x moves to the left or right.

Since a polynomial function can increase without limit as x approaches infinity, decrease without limit as x approaches negative infinity, or do both of these things, it is important to determine what a polynomial function does at either end of the graph. We can determine this from the degree of the polynomial and the sign of the leading coefficient.

The degree of the polynomial function $f(x)=1-2x^2-x^3$ is 3 because the highest power of x in the expression is 3. The coefficient of the term with the greatest exponent (i.e. -1) is negative in this case. The end behavior of the graph is therefore that the graph drops as x increases and also as x decreases without limit, approaching negative infinity.

Based on the given information, the offer from BestStuff appears to be cheaper than the offer from QualStuff.

To determine the cheaper offer, we need to calculate the final prices after applying the trade discounts. Let's start with BestStuff:

First discount: 24% off $280 equals a reduction of $67.20 ($280 * 0.24).

The new price after the first discount is $280 - $67.20 = $212.80.

Second discount: 15% off $212.80 equals a reduction of $31.92 ($212.80 * 0.15).

The new price after the second discount is $212.80 - $31.92 = $180.88.

Third discount: 5% off $180.88 equals a reduction of $9.04 ($180.88 * 0.05).

The final price after all three discounts is $180.88 - $9.04 = $171.84.

Now let's calculate the price for QualStuff:

First discount: 26% off $313.60 equals a reduction of $81.54 ($313.60 * 0.26).

The new price after the first discount is $313.60 - $81.54 = $232.06.

Second discount: 23.5% off $232.06 equals a reduction of $54.55 ($232.06 * 0.235).

The final price after both discounts is $232.06 - $54.55 = $177.51.

Comparing the final prices, we can see that the offer from BestStuff, with a final price of $171.84, is cheaper than the offer from QualStuff, which has a final price of $177.51. Therefore, the BestStuff offer is the more affordable option.

Use the exponential growth formula to find the initial size. The initial size of the bacteria culture was approximately 457.

To determine the initial size of the bacteria culture, we can use the exponential growth formula: [tex]N(t) = N_0 * (2^{(t/d)})[/tex], where N(t) is the population at time t, N₀ is the initial population, t is the time elapsed, and d is the doubling period.

Given that N(15) = 800 and N(30) = 1700, we can set up two equations:

[tex]800 = N_0 * (2^{(15/d)})\\1700 = N_0 * (2^{(30/d)})[/tex]

To solve these equations, we can take the ratio of the second equation to the first equation:

[tex]1700/800 = (2^{(30/d)}) / (2^{(15/d)})[/tex]

Simplifying the equation, we have:

2.125 = 2^(30/d - 15/d)

Taking the logarithm of both sides, we get:

log₂(2.125) = 30/d - 15/d

Simplifying further, we have:

0.0833d = 15

Solving for d, we find that d ≈ 180 minutes.

Substituting d = 180 minutes into one of the original equations, we can solve for N₀:

[tex]800 = N_0 * (2^{(15/180)})[/tex]

The given scenario involves analyzing the busyness of a supermarket using probability concepts and distributions. In this case, a Poisson Process is used to model the arrival rate of customers. We will address various aspects of this scenario, including the value of λ, the type of random variable, and probability calculations.

a. In a Poisson Process, λ represents the average rate of events occurring per unit of time. In this case, λ = 90 customers per hour. To calculate the value of λ for a 2.25-hour time interval, we multiply the average rate by the length of the interval, resulting in λ = 90 customers/hour * 2.25 hours = 202.5 customers.

b. The random variable X, representing the number of customers entering the supermarket in the next 10 minutes, is a discrete random variable. This is because the number of customers is counted and can only take on whole number values.

c. i. The probability that 100 shoppers enter the supermarket between 10:00 and 11:00 AM can be calculated using the Poisson probability formula. P(X = k) = (e^(-λ) * λ^k) / k!, where k is the number of events and λ is the average rate. In this case, λ = 90 customers per hour, and the time interval is 1 hour. P(X = 100) can be calculated using the formula.

c. ii. The value used for λ is 90, as it represents the average rate of customers entering per hour. This value is derived from the given information.

d. i. The value of the mean, λ, represents the average number of customers entering the supermarket during the time interval of 5:00 to 6:30 PM. To calculate λ, we multiply the average rate of customers per hour (λ = 90) by the length of the time interval (1.5 hours).

d. ii. To calculate the probability of 150 or more customers entering during this time, we can use the Poisson distribution. By summing the probabilities of having 150, 151, 152, and so on customers, we can determine the probability of being understaffed. If the probability is high, the store manager should consider hiring more staff.

e. i. The waiting time between customer arrivals, represented by the random variable X, is a continuous random variable. This is because the waiting time can take on any real number value within a given range.

e. ii. The exponential distribution models the waiting time between customer arrivals in this case. It is often used to describe continuous random variables involving time between events in a Poisson Process.

e. iii. The average waiting time between customer arrivals can be calculated using the mean of the exponential distribution. The mean waiting time (μ) is equal to the reciprocal of λ (the average arrival rate). So, μ = 1/λ.

e. iv. The probability density function (PDF) for the exponential distribution is given by f(t) = λ * e^(-λt), where t is the waiting time between arrivals and λ is the average arrival rate.

f. The cumulative distribution function (CDF) for the exponential distribution can be calculated by integrating the PDF from 0 to the desired value of t. The formula for the CDF is F(t) = 1 - e^(-λt).

To target a specific gene or region of DNA in a PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) reaction, scientists use specific primers that are designed to bind to the DNA sequence flanking the target region.

Primers are short, single-stranded DNA sequences that act as starting points for DNA replication during PCR. By designing primers that are complementary to the target gene or region, scientists can selectively amplify and target that specific sequence. The process involves selecting the target DNA sequence and designing two primers: one that anneals to the forward strand (5' to 3' direction) and another that anneals to the reverse strand (3' to 5' direction). These primers define the region of DNA that will be amplified. When added to the PCR reaction mixture, the primers specifically bind to their complementary sequences on the DNA template strands, allowing DNA polymerase to extend and synthesize new DNA strands from the primers.

A thermal cycler is a crucial instrument in the PCR process. It helps automate and control the temperature changes required for the different steps of PCR. The thermal cycler allows precise temperature cycling, which is essential for denaturation of the DNA template (separation of the double-stranded DNA into single strands), annealing of primers to the template DNA, and extension (synthesis of new DNA strands). The thermal cycler ensures that the reactions occur at specific temperatures and for specific durations, optimizing the efficiency and specificity of DNA amplification. To run a PCR reaction, you would need the following components and steps: DNA template: The DNA sample containing the target gene or region you want to amplify. Primers: Design and obtain forward and reverse primers that are complementary to the target DNA sequence.

PCR reaction mixture: Prepare a reaction mixture containing DNA template, primers, nucleotides (dNTPs), DNA polymerase, and buffer solution. The buffer solution provides the necessary pH and ionic conditions for optimal enzymatic activity. Thermal cycling: Load the reaction mixture into the thermal cycler. The thermal cycler will then undergo a series of temperature changes, including: Denaturation: Heating the reaction mixture to around 95°C to denature the DNA, separating the double-stranded DNA into single strands. Annealing: Cooling the reaction mixture to a temperature (typically 50-65°C) suitable for the primers to bind (anneal) to their complementary sequences on the DNA template.

Extension: Raising the temperature to the optimal range (usually around 72°C) for DNA polymerase to extend and synthesize new DNA strands from the primers. This allows replication of the target DNA sequence. Repeat cycles: The thermal cycler will repeat the denaturation, annealing, and extension steps for a predetermined number of cycles, typically 20-40 cycles. Each cycle exponentially amplifies the target DNA sequence, resulting in a significant increase in DNA quantity. Final extension: After the desired number of cycles, a final extension step is performed at 72°C for a few minutes to ensure the completion of DNA synthesis and finalize the PCR process. By following these steps and using a thermal cycler, scientists can successfully amplify and target specific genes or regions of DNA through the PCR technique.

The rate at which the local temperature in Country Z is changing with respect to time 3 years from now is approximately -14.286 °C/year. This indicates a predicted decrease in temperature of about 14.286 °C per year in Country Z.

To find this rate of change, we need to differentiate the temperature function T(x, y) = 0.15/7 - 5x + 2y + 37 with respect to time. Since the rate of change with respect to time is what we're interested in, we treat x, y, and t as variables and differentiate only with respect to t.

Taking the partial derivatives of T(x, y) with respect to x, y, and t, we get:

∂T/∂x = -5
∂T/∂y = 2
∂T/∂t = 0

Now, we substitute the values of x, y, and t that correspond to 3 years from now: x = r(t) = 1 / (121 + 71 – 5t) + Bt, y = C = 29, and t = 3.

Substituting these values, we have:

∂T/∂x = -5
∂T/∂y = 2
∂T/∂t = 0

Therefore, the rate at which the local temperature in Country Z is changing with respect to time 3 years from now is approximately -14.286 °C/year.

In conclusion, the local temperature in Country Z is predicted to decrease at a rate of approximately 14.286 °C per year, based on the given function and values.

The 99% confidence interval for the mean concentration of dissolved organic carbon collected from organic soil is (12.33, 22.01).

Given that¯
x= 17.17 mg/L and s = 7.83 mg/L

Now we are to construct a 99 % confidence interval for the mean concentration of dissolved organic carbon collected from organic soil. Let's solve this:

As it is given the confidence level is 99%. Hence α= 1 - Confidence level = 1 - 0.99 = 0.01

Now, for a sample size of less than 30 and an unknown population standard deviation, we use t-distribution for constructing a confidence interval. The formula to compute a confidence interval is given by:

Lower confidence interval = ¯x - t (α/2, n-1) * (s/√n)

Upper confidence interval = ¯x + t (α/2, n-1) * (s/√n), Where n is the sample size.

Now we need to compute t (α/2, n-1)

Let's find t (α/2, n-1) using a t-distribution table.

For a 99% confidence level, α/2 = 0.005 and degrees of freedom (df) = n - 1 = 20 - 1 = 19.

Using a t-distribution table, t (0.005, 19) = 2.861

Now we can substitute the values in the above formula and calculate the confidence interval.

Lower confidence interval = ¯x - t (α/2, n-1) * (s/√n) = 17.17 - (2.861)(7.83/√21) = 12.33 mg/L

Upper confidence interval = ¯x + t (α/2, n-1) * (s/√n) = 17.17 + (2.861)(7.83/√21) = 22.01 mg/L

The sample mean is given by the formula:

¯x = ∑xi / n

where ∑xi= sum of all observations

n = sample size

¯x = (5.20 + 8.81 + 30.91 + 19.80 + 29.80 + 11.40 + 14.86 + 14.86 + 27.10 + 20.46 + 14.00 + 8.09 + 16.51 + 14.90 + 15.35 + 14.00 + 15.72 + 33.67 + 9.72 + 18.30) / 20

¯x = 17.17 mg/L

The sample standard deviation is given by the formula:

s = √{∑(xi - ¯x)² / (n - 1)}

where xi = each observation

n = sample size

Using the given data,

s = √{[(5.20 - 17.17)² + (8.81 - 17.17)² + (30.91 - 17.17)² + (19.80 - 17.17)² + (29.80 - 17.17)² + (11.40 - 17.17)² + (14.86 - 17.17)² + (14.86 - 17.17)² + (27.10 - 17.17)² + (20.46 - 17.17)² + (14.00 - 17.17)² + (8.09 - 17.17)² + (16.51 - 17.17)² + (14.90 - 17.17)² + (15.35 - 17.17)² + (14.00 - 17.17)² + (15.72 - 17.17)² + (33.67 - 17.17)² + (9.72 - 17.17)² + (18.30 - 17.17)²] / (20 - 1)}

s = 7.83 mg/L

With a sample size n = 20 and 99% confidence interval, the degrees of freedom (df) can be calculated as follows:

df = n - 1

df = 20 - 1

df = 19

The standard error of the mean is given by the formula:

SE = s / √n

where s = sample standard deviation

          n = sample size

        SE = 7.83 / √20

       SE = 1.75mg/L

The margin of error can be calculated using the formula:

Margin of error = t_(α/2) × SE

where t_(α/2) is the t-score obtained from the t-distribution table using a 99% confidence interval and df = 19.

Using the t-distribution table with

df = 19 and

α = 0.01,

we get t_(α/2) = 2.861

Margin of error = 2.861 × 1.75

Margin of error = 4.99mg/L

Now we can calculate the confidence interval using the formula:

CI = ¯x ± margin of error

CI = 17.17 ± 4.99

CI = (12.18, 22.16)

The 99% confidence interval for the mean concentration of dissolved organic carbon collected from organic soil is (12.18, 22.16).

(a) a reflection followed by a glide have two possibilities: a reflection combined with a translation or a reflection combined with a reflection.

(b) classified into three possibilities: a translation that moves every point by the same distance and direction, a rotation around the midpoint between P and Q, or a reflection across the line perpendicular to the line segment connecting P and Q.

For the non-identity isometry described as a reflection followed by a glide in R, we can consider two cases. First, if the reflection is followed by a translation, the glide is uniquely determined by the direction and distance of the translation. Second, if the reflection is followed by another reflection, the glide is not unique as there are infinitely many glide translations that can be combined with the reflection.

For the isometry that fixes two points, P and Q, in R, there are three possibilities. First, a translation can be performed that moves every point in the plane by the same distance and direction, which will fix both P and Q. Second, a rotation can be executed around the midpoint between P and Q, preserving the distance between P and Q while rotating the rest of the points around it. Third, a reflection can be applied across the line perpendicular to the line segment connecting P and Q, swapping the positions of all points on one side of the line with the corresponding points on the other side, while keeping P and Q fixed.

The joint density (or joint distribution)  the given i.i.d. continuous random variables can be obtained by expressing the joint CDF as the product of individual CDFs and differentiating it with respect to the variables of interest.

To find the joint distribution, we need to determine the probability density function (PDF) or cumulative distribution function (CDF) of (Xₐ, Xₓ, Xₙ).

First, let's consider the cumulative distribution function (CDF) approach. The joint CDF, denoted as Fₐₓₙ, represents the probability that Xₐ ≤ x, Xₓ ≤ y, and Xₙ ≤ z for some specific values x, y, and z. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

Fₐₓₙ(x, y, z) = P(Xₐ ≤ x, Xₓ ≤ y, Xₙ ≤ z)

Since X_1, X_2, ..., X_n are i.i.d., the joint CDF can be expressed as the product of the individual CDFs of Xₐ, Xₓ, and Xₙ due to independence:

Fₐₓₙ(x, y, z) = P(Xₐ ≤ x) * P(Xₓ ≤ y) * P(Xₙ ≤ z)

Next, we need to express the joint density function (PDF) of (Xₐ, Xₓ, Xₙ). The joint PDF, denoted as fₐₓₙ, can be obtained by differentiating the joint CDF with respect to x, y, and z:

fₐₓₙ(x, y, z) = ∂³Fₐₓₙ(x, y, z) / ∂x ∂y ∂z

Here, ∂³ denotes partial differentiation three times, corresponding to x, y, and z.

However, it is worth mentioning that in some cases, when the distributions are well-known (e.g., uniform, normal, exponential), there exist established results for the joint densities of order statistics. These results are derived based on the distributional properties of the specific random variables involved. You can refer to probability textbooks or academic resources on order statistics for more detailed derivations and specific formulas for different distributions.

f'(x) = 2x + C (where C is the constant of integration)

f(1) = 2 + C (where C is the constant of integration)

f"(z) = 5

To find the derivative function, f'(x), we need to integrate the given derivative, f'(-1) = 2.

Integrating f'(-1) with respect to x will give us the original function, f(x), up to a constant of integration. Thus, integrating 2 with respect to x gives us 2x + C, where C is the constant of integration.

Hence, f'(x) = 2x + C.

To find f(1), we can substitute x = 1 into the function f(x) = 2x + C. This gives us f(1) = 2(1) + C = 2 + C.

As for f"(z), we can differentiate the given expression for f'(x) = 5x + 1 to find the second derivative. The derivative of 5x + 1 with respect to x is 5.

Therefore, f"(z) = 5.

If cost per item = $11, fixed cost = $4650, the cost equation for this scenario is c = $11x + $4650.

To find the cost equation based on the given information, we can use a linear cost model, which assumes that the cost per item remains constant regardless of the quantity produced and includes a fixed cost component.

In this case, the cost per item is $11, and the fixed cost is $4650. The cost equation can be written as:

c = mx + b,

where c is the total cost, x is the number of items produced, m is the cost per item, and b is the fixed cost.

Substituting the given values into the equation:

c = $11x + $4650.

This equation indicates that the total cost (c) is determined by adding the cost per item multiplied by the number of items produced (11x) to the fixed cost ($4650). As the number of items produced increases, the total cost will increase linearly according to the cost per item.

The Maclaurin polynomial of degree 4 for [tex]g(x) = x sin(x)[/tex] is given by [tex]P4(x) = x^2 - (1/6)x^4[/tex], and the Maclaurin polynomial of degree 2 for [tex]g(x) = (sin(x))/x[/tex] is given by [tex]P2(x) = 1 + 1/x[/tex].

(a) To find the Maclaurin polynomials for f(x) = ex and g(x) = xex, we need to calculate the derivatives of these functions and evaluate them at x = 0.

For f(x) = ex:

f'(x) = ex, evaluated at x = 0, gives [tex]f'(0) = e^0 = 1[/tex].

f''(x) = ex, evaluated at x = 0, gives [tex]f''(0) = e^0 = 1[/tex].

So the Maclaurin polynomial of degree 2 for f(x) = ex is given by:

[tex]P2(x) = f(0) + f'(0)x + (f''(0)/2!)x^2 = 1 + 1x + (1/2)x^2 = 1 + x + (1/2)x^2[/tex].

For g(x) = xex:

g'(x) = (1 + x)ex, evaluated at x = 0, gives [tex]g'(0) = (1 + 0)e^0 = 1[/tex].

g''(x) = (2 + x)ex, evaluated at x = 0, gives [tex]g''(0) = (2 + 0)e^0 = 2[/tex].

g'''(x) = (3 + x)ex, evaluated at x = 0, gives [tex]g'''(0) = (3 + 0)e^0 = 3[/tex].

So the Maclaurin polynomial of degree 3 for g(x) = xex is given by:

[tex]P3(x) = g(0) + g'(0)x + (g''(0)/2!)x^2 + (g'''(0)/3!)x^3 = 0 + 1x + (2/2!)x^2 + (3/3!)x^3 = x + x^2 + (1/2)x^3[/tex]

The relationship between the Maclaurin polynomials of degree 2 for f(x) = ex and degree 3 for g(x) = xex is that the polynomial for g(x) contains an extra term of degree 3 compared to the polynomial for f(x).

(b) We can use the result from part (a) and the Maclaurin polynomial of degree 3 for f(x) = sin(x) to find a Maclaurin polynomial of degree 4 for g(x) = x sin(x).

From part (a), we have the Maclaurin polynomial of degree 3 for f(x) = sin(x) given by:

[tex]P3(x) = x - (1/6)x^3[/tex].

To find the Maclaurin polynomial of degree 4 for g(x) = x sin(x), we can multiply P3(x) by x:

[tex]P4(x) = x * P3(x) = x * (x - (1/6)x^3) = x^2 - (1/6)x^4[/tex].

So the Maclaurin polynomial of degree 4 for g(x) = x sin(x) is given by:

[tex]P4(x) = x^2 - (1/6)x^4[/tex].

(c) Using the result from part (a) and the Maclaurin polynomial of degree 3 for f(x) = sin(x), we can find a Maclaurin polynomial of degree 2 for g(x) = (sin(x))/x.

From part (a), we have the Maclaurin polynomial of degree 2 for f(x) = sin(x) given by:

P2(x) = 1 + x.

To find the Maclaurin polynomial of degree 2 for g(x) = (sin(x))/x, we can divide P2(x) by x:

[tex]P2(x) / x = (1 + x) / x = 1 + 1/x[/tex].

So the Maclaurin polynomial of degree 2 for g(x) = (sin(x))/x is given by:

[tex]P2(x) = 1 + 1/x[/tex].

To find the coordinate vector of the polynomial p(t) = 1 + 3t - 6t² relative to the basis B = {1 - t², t - t², 2 - t + t²} in the vector space P₂, we need to express p(t) as a linear combination of the basis vectors and determine the coefficients. Therefore, the coordinate vector of p(t) relative to the basis B is [-1, 2, -4].

We want to find the coefficients a, b, and c such that p(t) = a(1 - t²) + b(t - t²) + c(2 - t + t²).

Expanding the expression, we have p(t) = a - at² + b(t - t²) + 2c - ct + ct².

Combining like terms, we get p(t) = (a + b) + (-a - b - c)t + (c - a + c)t².

Comparing the coefficients of each term on both sides, we can set up a system of equations:

a + b = 1,

-a - b - c = 3,

c - a + c = -6.

Solving this system of equations, we find a = -1, b = 2, and c = -4.

Therefore, the coordinate vector of p(t) relative to the basis B is [-1, 2, -4].
