Are the transfermations linear? Are they an isomorphism? Why? Solution 1. T(f)=f\' T(f+g)=(f+g)\'=f\'+g\' T(cf)=(cf)\'=cf\' So, T is linear P2 is space of polynomials of degree atmost 2 so T(P2) can have polynomials of degree atmost 1 So it cannot be an isomorphism because P2 has dimension 2 and T(P2) has dimension atmost 1 2. T(f+g)=(f+g)\'+(f+g)\'\'=f\'+f\'\'+g\'+g\'\'=T(f)+T(g) T(cf)=(cf)\'+(cf)\'\'=cf\'+cf\'\'=cT(f) HEnce, T is linear But T is not an isomorphism As T maps a polynomial to a polynomial of degree stricly smaller than itself. HEnce P3 and T(P3) have different dimension so T cannot be an isomorphism..
