**Find a Basis for the Subspace**

Given:
\[ 
W = \left\{ p(x) \in \mathcal{P}_2 \mid p(5) = -p(-5) \right\} 
\]
of \(\mathcal{P}_2\).

**Solution:**

A basis for \(W\) is \(\{x^2 - 1, x\}\).

---

**Explanation of Notation and Concepts:**

- \(\mathcal{P}_2\) denotes the set of all polynomials of degree less than or equal to 2.
- \(W\) is described as the set of all polynomials \(p(x)\) in \(\mathcal{P}_2\) that satisfy the condition \(p(5) = -p(-5)\).

**Found Basis:**

- The basis \(\{x^2 - 1, x\}\) implies that any polynomial in \(W\) can be expressed as a linear combination of \(x^2 - 1\) and \(x\).
