Let PN denote the vector space of all polynomials of degree N or less, with real coefficients. Let the linear transformation: T: P3 --> P1 be the second derivative. Is T onto? Explain. Is T one-to-one? What is the Kernel of T? Find the standard matrix A for the linear transformation T. Let B= {x+1 , x-1 , x2+x , x3+x2 } be a basis for P3 ; and
F={ x+2 , x-3 } be a basis for P1 . Find A F<--B ( the matrix for T relative to the bases B and F).
