Exercise 3

Avg difficulty 3.0

Show that these are homomorphisms. Are they inverse to each other?

  • d/dx ⁣:P3→P2d/dx\colon\mathcal{P}_{3}\to\mathcal{P}_{2} given by a0+a1x+a2x2+a3x3a_{0}+a_{1}x+a_{2}x^{2}+a_{3}x^{3} maps to a1+2a2x+3a3x2a_{1}+2a_{2}x+3a_{3}x^{2}

  • ∫ ⁣:P2→P3\int\colon\mathcal{P}_{2}\to\mathcal{P}_{3} given by b0+b1x+b2x2b_{0}+b_{1}x+b_{2}x^{2} maps to b0x+(b1/2)x2+(b2/3)x3b_{0}x+(b_{1}/2)x^{2}+(b_{2}/3)x^{3}
