Work Step by Step

Obtain: $Ker(T)=\{A \in V: T(A)=0\}\\ =\{\begin{bmatrix} a & b \\ b & c \end{bmatrix}: T(\begin{bmatrix} a & b \\ b & c \end{bmatrix})=0\}\\ =\{\begin{bmatrix} a & b \\ b & c \end{bmatrix}:ax^2+bx+c=0\\ \rightarrow a=b=c\\ \rightarrow Ker(T)=\{\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix}\}\\ =\{0\}$ Hence, $T$ is one-to-one. Apply Rank Nullity Theorem: $\dim [Ker(T_2T_1)]+\dim [Rng(T)]=\dim P_2(R)\\ 0+\dim [Rng(T)]=3\\ \dim [Rng(T)]=3$ $\dim P_1(R)=3=\dim [Rng(T)]\\ \rightarrow Rng=P_2(R)$ $\rightarrow T$ is onto. Since $T$ is both onto one-to-one, $T^{-1}$ does exist. We have: $T^{-1}: P_2(R) \rightarrow V$ With $A \in V$, then $T^{-1}T(A)=A\\ T^{-1}(T(\begin{bmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{bmatrix}))=\begin{bmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{bmatrix}\\ T^{-1}(ax^2+bx+c)=\begin{bmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{bmatrix}$
