Consider the linear mapping $T:P2(R) → P2(R)$ given by,

$T p(x) = (1−x^2)p′′(x)−2xp′(x)$

Let $B1$ = {$1+x,1+x^2,1+x+x^2$} ⊂ $P2(R)$. Then $B1$ is a basis for $P2(R)$

(a) Compute the matrix $M(T,B1,B1)$.

(b) Let $p(x) = 1+2x−3x^2.$ Compute

(i) $[p]B1$

(ii) $[Tp]B1$

(iii) $M(T,B1,B1)[p]B1$

For part a) i got

$(0 6 6

2 2 4

-2 -6 -8)$

But i dont know if its correct and i am very confused for part b) im struggling to see what its asking me to compute.
