Question 18722: Primal and Covector Coordinates Follow Opposite Change-of-Basis Laws

Original question and givens

Use invertible change matrix P=[[1, 22], [0, 1]] with old_primal=P*new_primal, old primal coordinates=[23, 3] and old covector row=[2, 22]. Coordinates are exact rationals, written as integers or [numerator, denominator] pairs with nonzero denominator. Give (new_primal_coordinates, new_covector_coordinates, coordinate_law, canonical_identification_claim, boundary).
