finding Ker(T) of a parameter's linear transformation












0












$begingroup$


I am suppose to find the ker(T) of linear transformation of:
$$
Gbegin{pmatrix}a & d \ c & bend{pmatrix}=
a+frac{b+c}{2}x+frac{b-c}{2}x^2
$$



the form $T:V to W$



My problem is that I don't really know how to read the right side of the equation, is that a vector? A polynomial?



Am I supposed to take the right side of the equation and make it equal with 0?

    The linear map is called $G$ and not $T$. The domain is the vector space of $2times2$ matrices, the codomain is the vector space of polynomials (of degree at most $2$). You have to prove $G$ is linear, then compute the kernel.

    Yes. You set the right hand side equal to $0$.

The transformation shown is a linear transformation from the space of $2 times 2$ matrices to the space of polynomials of degree two-or-less, i.e., $V$ is the vector space of $2 times 2$ matrices, and $W$ is the space of polynomials of degree two-or-less.
