Define the linear transformation S : Pn → Pn and T : Pn → Pn by S(p(x)) = p(x + 1), T(p(x)) = p'(x)
(a) Find the matrix associated with S and T with respect to the standard basis {1, x, x2} for P2 .
(b) Find the matrix associated with S ◦ T(p(x)) for n = 2 and for the standard basis {1, x, x2}. Is the linear transformation S ◦ T invertible?
(c) Is S a one-to-one transformation? Is it onto? What is the kernel and range of S? What is the rank and nullity of S? Verify the Rank Theorem.
(d) Is T a one-to-one transformation? Is it onto? What is the kernel and range of T? What is the rank and nullity of T? Verify the Rank Theorem.
