Please help me with this question

Consider the set P2 := {f:R → R : ƒ(x)
the set of polynomials of degree up to 2. This set is a vector space over R under addition
given by
a.x? + bx + c for some a, b, c E R}. So P2 is
(a1x2 + b1x + c1) + (a2x² + b2x + c2) = (a1 + a2)x² + (b1 + b2)x + (c1+c2),
and scalar multiplication given by
A(ax? + bx + c) = Xax² + Xbx + dc.
Consider the function D: P2 → P2 given by D(ax? + bx + c) = 2ax + b.
(a) Why did I call this function D?
(b) Prove that D is a linear transformation'.
