Question

Let T:P1P2T: P1 \to P2 be defined by


T(a+bx)=b+ax+(ab)x2.T(a + bx) = b + ax + (a - b)x^2.


Check that TT is a linear transformation. Find the matrix of the transformation with respect to the ordered bases B1={1,x}B1 = \{1, x\} and B2={x2,x2+x,x2+x+1}B2 = \{x^2, x^2 + x, x^2 + x + 1\}. Find the kernel of TT. Further check that the range of TT is {a+bx+cx2P2a+c=b}\{a + bx + cx^2 \in P2 \mid a + c = b\}.

Solution

Let T(a+bx)=b+ax+(ab)x2T(a + bx) = b + ax + (a - b)x^2, then T(ac+bdx)=bd+acx+(acbd)x2T(ac + bdx) = bd + acx + (ac - bd)x^2,


cT(a)+d(T(bx))=c(ax+ax2)+d(bbx2)=bd+acx+(acbd)x2=T(ac+bdx)cT(a) + d(T(bx)) = c(ax + ax^2) + d(b - bx^2) = bd + acx + (ac - bd)x^2 = T(ac + bdx)


So, TT is a linear transformation.

If B1={1,x}={(10),(01)}B_1 = \{1, x\} = \left\{\binom{1}{0}, \binom{0}{1}\right\} and B2={x2,x2+x,x2+x+1}={(10),(01),(01)}B_2 = \{x^2, x^2 + x, x^2 + x + 1\} = \left\{\binom{1}{0}, \binom{0}{1}, \binom{0}{1}\right\}, then


T((10))=T(1+0x)=x+x2=0x2+1(x2+x)+0(x2+x+1)=1(01)=(01);T\left(\binom{1}{0}\right) = T(1 + 0 \cdot x) = x + x^2 = 0 \cdot x^2 + 1 \cdot (x^2 + x) + 0 \cdot (x^2 + x + 1) = 1 \cdot \binom{0}{1} = \binom{0}{1};T((01))=T(0+1x)=1x2=x2(x2+x)+(x2+x+1)=(10)(01)+(00)=(11).T\left(\binom{0}{1}\right) = T(0 + 1 \cdot x) = 1 - x^2 = -x^2 - (x^2 + x) + (x^2 + x + 1) = -\binom{1}{0} - \binom{0}{1} + \binom{0}{0} = \binom{-1}{1}.


The matrix of the transformation TT is A=(011101)A = \begin{pmatrix} 0 & -1 \\ 1 & -1 \\ 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix}.

The following system determines the kernel of TT:


(011101)(ab)=(000)b=0;b=0;ab=0(a=0b=0).\begin{pmatrix} 0 & -1 \\ 1 & -1 \\ 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} a \\ b \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \to -b = 0; \, b = 0; \, a - b = 0 \to \begin{pmatrix} a = 0 \\ b = 0 \end{pmatrix}.


Thus, the kernel is Ker=(00)Ker = \binom{0}{0}, which is the same as 0+0x=00 + 0 \cdot x = 0.

The range is T(α+βx)=β+αx+(αβ)x2=a+bx+cx2T(\alpha + \beta x) = \beta + \alpha x + (\alpha - \beta)x^2 = a + bx + cx^2,

where a=β;b=α;c=αβa = \beta; b = \alpha; c = \alpha - \beta.

Thus, a+c=β+αβ=α=ba + c = \beta + \alpha - \beta = \alpha = b and the range is {a+bx+cx2P2a+c=b}\{a + bx + cx^2 \in P_2 \mid a + c = b\}.

Answer: (011101)\begin{pmatrix} 0 & -1 \\ 1 & -1 \\ 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix}, 0,{a+bx+cx2P2a+c=b}0, \{a + bx + cx^2 \in P_2 \mid a + c = b\}.
