Thread: Linear Algebra please help.

T: P2(R)--->P3(R) defined by T(F(x))=xf(x)+f'(x).

I need to prove that T is a linear transformation, and say if is one 2 one or onto.

I need to prove that T is a linear transformation, and say if is one 2 one or onto.

Note that the "object" of T is the function f, not x.

Knowing that, you have to prove, in order to say that T is a linear transformation :

Or you can just say that T is the sum of linear transformations :
- multiplying by a scalar : x
- taking the derivative of a function, though you have to say that it's differentiable..
