In Exercise 72through 74, letZnbe the set of all polynomials of degreensuch that f(0) = 0.

74. Define an isomorphism fromZntoPn-1(think calculus!).

Short Answer

Expert verified

The transformation Tft=f'tis an isomorphism fromZn to Pn-1.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of Linear transformation

Consider two linear spaces Vand W. A function Tfrom Vto Wis called linear transformation if

  1. T(f+g)=T(f)+T(g)
  2. T(kf)=kT(f)

for all elements f and g of Vand for all scalars.

Ifis finite dimensional, then

dim(V)=rank(T)+nullity(T)=dim(imT)+dim(kerT)

02

Definition of Isomorphism

An invertible linear transformation Tis called an isomorphism.

03

Verify whether the linear transformation is an isomorphism

Consider the linear transformationT:ZnPn-1 given by Tft)=f'(t.

Since,ft,gtZn

Tft+gt=Tf+gt=f+g't=f't+g'(t)=Tft+Tgt

Also, consider a scalar c, then

Tcft=Tcft=cf't=cf't=cTft

Therefore, T is a linear transformation.

Consider any non-zero polynomial,

ft=a0+a1t+...+an-1tn-1Pn-1

Then,

Tft=f't=a1+2a2+...+nantn-1

Since, it non-zero there exists0in-1 such that ai0.

Thus,Tft is also a non-zero polynomial in Pn-1.

Hence, ker(T)={0}.

Therefore, dimZn=n=dimpn-1.

Thus, T is an isomorphism.
