Let Q [ ϑ ] = { a + b ϑ : a , b Q } be the smallest subring of C that contains Q and ϑ, where ϑ is a real or complex number. Calculate for a , b Z the matrix A a + b ϑ of the Q -linear map Q [ ϑ ] Q [ ϑ ] ,   x ( a + b ϑ ) x with respect to the Q -basis 1 , ϑ of Q [ ϑ ]

Let's do the first case.
A a + b ϑ ( 1 ) = a 1 + b ϑ  and  A a + b ϑ ( ϑ ) = b ϑ 2 + a ϑ = b d 1 + a ϑ
so by the definition of "matrix" we have
Mat 1 , ϑ 1 , ϑ ( A a + b ϑ ) = ( a b d b a ) .
The other case is done the same way, once we notice that ϑ 2 = d 1 4 + ϑ
So in the second case the matrix is ( a b d 1 4 b a + b )
