For each \(f \in C[0,1]\), define \(L(f)=F,\) where \\[ F(x)=\int_{0}^{x} f(t) d t \quad 0 \leq x \leq 1 \\] Show that \(L\) is a linear operator on \(C[0,1]\) and then find \(L\left(e^{x}\right)\) and \(L\left(x^{2}\right)\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
\(L\) is a linear operator as it satisfies both conditions \(L(f + g) = L(f) + L(g)\) and \(L(cf) = cL(f)\). We find \(L(e^x) = e^x - 1\) and \(L(x^2) = \frac{1}{3}x^3\).

Step by step solution

01

Show that L is a linear operator on the set of continuous functions C[0, 1]

Recall that an operator \(L\) is linear if it satisfies the following conditions for any functions \(f, g \in C[0, 1]\) and any scalar \(c \in \mathbb{R}\): 1. \(L(f + g) = L(f) + L(g)\) 2. \(L(cf) = cL(f)\) To show that \(L\) is a linear operator, we will verify these two conditions: 1. \(L(f + g) = \int_{0}^{x}(f(t) + g(t)) dt = \int_{0}^{x} f(t) dt + \int_{0}^{x} g(t) dt = L(f) + L(g)\) 2. \(L(cf) = \int_{0}^{x} cf(t) dt = c \int_{0}^{x} f(t) dt = cL(f)\) Both conditions are satisfied, so \(L\) is indeed a linear operator on \(C[0, 1]\).
02

Compute L for the function e^x

Now we must compute the operator \(L\) for \(e^x\). Using the definition of \(L\), we have: \(L(e^{x}) = F(x) = \int_{0}^{x} e^t dt\) This integral is straightforward to compute, as the antiderivative of \(e^t\) is simply \(e^t\). Thus, integrating within the limits of the integral, we have: \(L(e^{x}) = e^x |_{0}^{x} = e^x - e^0 = e^x - 1\)
03

Compute L for the function x^2

Finally, we must compute the operator \(L\) for the function \(x^2\). Using the definition of \(L\), we have: \(L(x^2) = F(x) = \int_{0}^{x} t^2 dt\) The antiderivative of \(t^2\) is \(\frac{1}{3}t^3\), so we can compute the integral using the limits of the integral: \(L(x^2) = \frac{1}{3}x^3 |_{0}^{x} = \frac{1}{3}x^3 - \frac{1}{3}(0)^3 = \frac{1}{3}x^3\) So, we have successfully found that \(L(e^x) = e^x - 1\) and \(L(x^2) = \frac{1}{3}x^3\).
