Answer

True

Work Step by Step

Since $Ker(T)$ is one-dimensional, we have: $dim [Ker(T)]=1$ and $T$ is one-to-one, then $Ker(T)=\{0\} \rightarrow T$ is not one-to-one. Apply Rank Nullity Theorem: $\dim [Ker(T)]+\dim [Rng(T)]=\dim M_2(R)\\ \rightarrow 1+\dim [Rng(T)]=4\\ \rightarrow \dim [Rng(T)]=3$ $\rightarrow \dim [P_2(R)]=3$ With $Rng(T) \subset P_2(R)$, we know $Rng(T)=P_2(R)$ Hence, $T$ is onto but not one-to-one.
