The Transformation of A is defined on the space P 2 of polynomials p such that deg ( p ) 2 by A p ( t ) = p ( t ). Find the matrix of this transformation in the basis { 1 , t , t 2 }. What is K e r ( A )?

Let [ 1 0 0 ] = 1, [ 0 1 0 ] = t, and [ 0 0 1 ] = t 2 . Let's look at what your basis looks like under the transformation.
A ( 1 ) = 0 = [ 0 0 0 ] (differentiating a constant polynomial)
A ( t ) = 1 = [ 1 0 0 ] (slope of line)
A ( t 2 ) = 2 t = [ 0 2 0 ] (power rule)
Thus, we get the matrix to be
A = [ 0 1 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 ] .
