1. Find an example of a nonzero linear transformation T : 2
→ 2
such that
T T ( x, y ) = ( 0,0) for all x, y.

1. For each function, determine if it is a linear transformation. If it is, then prove it is. If it is
not, then give a specific case where it fails one of the conditions.
( )
(a) T : P2 → with T ax 2 + bx + c = b2 − 4ac

(b) T : 2
→ with T ( ( a, b ) ) = a − 2b
