Linear Mappings, Differentiation and Linear Spaces
Not what you're looking for?
Please help with the following problems. Provide step by step calculations for each.
1) Show that this mapping is linear:
T: P5 -> P8 defined as Tp(t)=p(t+1)-p(t)+integral(t-1 to t) s^2 p(s) ds
2) Prove the following is true, or give a counterexample:
If l is a nonzero scalar linear function on linear space X (which may be finite or infinite) and a is an arbitrary scalar, there exists a vector x in X st l(x)=a
3) Let T: Pn->Pn be the linear map st Tp(t)=p(t+1). Show that if D is differentiation then T = 1 + D/1! + D^2/2! ... + D^(n-1)/(n-1)!

that T maps P_5 into P_8 should be clear on account of the integral;
and for all scalars c, and 5th degree polynomials p,q
T(cp +p') = (cp + q)(t + 1) - (cp + q)(t) + int_{t-1}^t s^2 (cp + q)
= cp(t + 1) + q(t + 1) - cp(t) - q(t) + c int_{t-1}^t s^2 p(s) ds + int_{t-1}^t ...
