Let $H$ be the matrix of the inner product $\phi(P,Q) = \int_0^1 P(t)Q(t)\,\mathrm{d}t$ in the canonical basis of $\mathbb{R}_{n-1}[X]$, with general term $h_{i,j} = \phi(X^i, X^j)$. Let $U \in \mathcal{M}_{n,1}(\mathbb{R})$. Express the product $U^\top H U$ using $\phi$ and the coefficients of $U$.
