My teacher gave us a homework problem that is considered an "advanced topic" that we have not really delved deeply into yet. I'm struggling to connect the dots in the question to formulate my answer.
I assume that I will be constructing a system of linear equations that gives solutions d, -b, -c, and a. My question is how the basis U = (1, t, t^2, t^3) relates to T(at^3 + bt^2 + ct + d) so that I can move forward and solve this problem.

To find the matrix of your transformation, see what the transformation does to each basis element.
For instance: to find the third column of the matrix, see what $T$ does to the third element of $U$, $t^2$. If $M$ denotes the matrix of the transformation, then we find that (in the notation described here)
$$
M pmatrix0\0\1\0 = M [t^2]_U = [T(t^2)]_B = left[pmatrix0&-1\0&0right]_B = pmatrix0\-1\0\0
$$
So, the matrix we're looking for has the form
$$
M = pmatrix?&?&0&?\?&?&-1&?\?&?&0&?\?&?&0&?

We have the basis $U= u_1, u_2, u_3, u_4 $ and
$B= b_1, b_2, b_3, b_4 $. Then $T$ acts like this:
beginalign
T(u_1) &= T(1) =
T(underbrace0_acdot t^3 + underbrace0_bcdot t^2 + underbrace0_ccdot t + underbrace1_dcdot 1) =
beginbmatrix
1 & 0 \
0 & 0
endbmatrix
= b_1
\
T(u_2) &= T(t) =
T(underbrace0_acdot t^3 + underbrace0_bcdot t^2 + underbrace1_ccdot t + underbrace0_dcdot 1) =
beginbmatrix
0 & 0 \
-1 & 0
endbmatrix
= -b_3
\
T(u_3) &= T(t^2) =
T(underbrace0_acdot t^3 + underbrace1_bcdot t^2 + underbrace0_ccdot t + underbrace0_dcdot 1) =
beginbmatrix
0 & -1\
0 & 0
endbmatrix
= -b_2
\

T(underbrace1_acdot t^3 + underbrace0_bcdot t^2 + underbrace0_ccdot t + underbrace0_dcdot 1) =
beginbmatrix

The matrix is $$M= begin bmatrix 0&0&0&1\0&-1&0&0\0&0&-1&0\1&0&0&0endbmatrix $$
Note that $$Mbegin pmatrix a\b\c\dendpmatrix =begin pmatrix d\-b\-c\aendpmatrix$$

The (ordered) basis is $(1, t, t^2, t^3)$, not $(t^3,t^2,t,1)$.
