Answer

False

Work Step by Step

Assume $p=a_0+a_1x+a_2x^2+a_3x^3 \in P_3(R)$ We have a linear transformation $P_3(R)\rightarrow M_{32}(R)$ obtain: $T(p)=T(a_0+a_1x+a_2x^2+a_3x^3)=\begin{bmatrix} a_0 & a_1\\ a_2 & a_3\\ 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$ then $Ker(T)=\{p \in P_3(R):T(p)=0\}\\ =\{a_0+a_1x+a_2x^2+a_3x^3:\begin{bmatrix} a_0 & a_1\\ a_2 & a_3\\ 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 0\\ 0 & 0\\ 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix}\}\\ \rightarrow a_0=a_1=a_2=a_3=0\\ \rightarrow Ker(T)=\{0\}$ Hence, there is one-to-one linear transformation $T$
