a) Consider, c be scalar and f , g c 1 [ a , b ]
L ( c f + g ) = d d x ( c f + g )
= d d x ( c f ) + d d x ( g )
= c d d x ( f ) + d d x ( g )
L ( c f + g ) = c L ( f ) + L ( g )
L is linear
b) K e r ( L ) = { f c 1 [ a , b ] : d f d x = 0 }
K e r ( L ) = { constant terms }
Basis for K e r ( L ) = { 1 }
c) N u l l i t y ( L ) = 1
d) As we know L is 1 1 iff K e r ( L ) = { 0 }
\therefore L is not 1 1 ( K e r ( L ) { 0 } )
c) Any transformation is invertible if it is both 1 1 and onto. As L is not 1 1
L is not invertible
