Answer

See below

Work Step by Step

We are given: $T(x^2-1)=x^2+x-3\\ T(2x)=4x\\ T(3x+2)=2(x+3)$ Since T is a linear transformation, we have: $T(x^2)-T(1)=x^2+x-3\\ 2T(x)=4x \\ 3T(x)+2T(1)=2(x+3)$ Thus: $T(1)=-2x+3\\ T(x)=2x\\ T(x^2)=x^2-x$ We obtain: $T(ax^2+bx+c)=aT(x^2)+bT(x)+cT(1)\\ =a(x^2-x)+b(2x)+c(-2x+3)\\ =ax^2+2bx-2cx+3c\\ =ax^2-(a-2b+2c)x+3c$
