Question

Determine addition and scalar multiplication as follows:

1)
Let P2 = {polynomials f(x) = a2x²+a1x+a0, where ao, a1, a2 E
R}, and define addition and scalar multiplication as follows:
(a) Addition. Let f(x) = a2x²+a1x+ao and g(x) = b2x² +b1x+bo. Then
define
(f + g)(x) = (a2 + b2)x² + (a1 + b1 )æ + (ao + bo)
(b) Scalar multiplication. Let r E R, f(x) = a2x² + a1x + ao. Define
(rf)(x) = (ra2)x² + (ra1)x + (rao)
Show that P2 is a vector space.
