Let Pn denote the vector space of polynomials in the variable x of degree n or less with real coefficients. Let D : P3 → P2 be the
function that sends a polynomial to its derivative. That is, D(p(x)) = p'(x) for all polynomials p(x) E P3. Is D a linear transformation?
Let p(x) = a3x³ + a2x² + a1x + ao and q(x) = b3x³ + b2x² + b1x + bo be any two polynomials in P3 and c E R.
a. D(p(x) + q(x)) =
D(p(x)) + D(q(x)) =
Does D(p(x) + q(æ)) = D(p(x)) + D(q(x)) for all p(x), q(x) E P3?
b. D(cp(x)) =
c(D(p(æ))) =
Does D(cp(x)) = c(D(p(x))) for all c e R and all p(x) E P3?
c. Is D a linear transformation?
