Formulation 1

$\begin {bmatrix}

1 & x_1 & {x_1}^2 & \cdots & {x_1}^{n - 2} & {x_1}^{n - 1} \\ 1 & x_2 & {x_2}^2 & \cdots & {x_2}^{n - 2} & {x_2}^{n - 1} \\ \vdots & \vdots & \vdots & \ddots & \vdots & \vdots \\ 1 & x_n & {x_n}^2 & \cdots & {x_n}^{n - 2} & {x_n}^{n - 1} \end {bmatrix}$

Formulation 2

$\begin {bmatrix}

x_1 & x_2 & \cdots & x_n \\ x_1^2 & x_2^2 & \cdots & x_n^2 \\ \vdots & \vdots & \ddots & \vdots \\ x_1^n & x_2^n & \cdots & x_n^n \end {bmatrix}$
