Transcribed Image Text:**Given:**
\( P_2 = \{ a_0 + a_1 x + a_2 x^2 \mid a_0, a_1, a_2 \in \mathbb{R} \} \)
**Transformation:**
\( T: P_2 \rightarrow \mathbb{R} \), where \( T(a_0 + a_1 x + a_2 x^2) = a_2 \).
*For example:* \( T(1 - x + 3x^2) = 3 \).
**Prove:** \( T \) is a linear transformation.
---
In the above content, \( P_2 \) is the space of all polynomials of degree at most 2 with real coefficients. The transformation \( T \) maps a quadratic polynomial to the coefficient of \( x^2 \).
To prove that \( T \) is a linear transformation, we need to show that it satisfies the properties of linearity:
1. **Additivity:** \( T(f + g) = T(f) + T(g) \) for any polynomials \( f, g \in P_2 \).
2. **Homogeneity:** \( T(c \cdot f) = c \cdot T(f) \) for any polynomial \( f \in P_2 \) and scalar \( c \in \mathbb{R} \).
