Problem

  • Let $T : \mathbb{P_2\to R}$ be the function defined by $T(p(x))= p(1)$. Verify that $T$ is in fact a linear transformation. (There are two things you need to verify for this.)
  • Let $T$ be the transformation defined above. Find a basis for the kernel of $T$ that is orthogonal with respect to the inner product.$$ \langle f(x),g(x)\rangle =\int_0^1f(x)g(x)\mathrm{dx}$$ (That is, find a basis for the kernel of $T$ such that all pairs of distinct basis vectors are orthogonal with respect to this inner product.)

What is the question asking in the second part? How to find a basis for the kernel of $T$ that is orthogonal with respect to an inner product?
