Work Step by Step

From Theorem 6.4.5: $$[T(p(x))]_C=[T]^C_B[p(x)]_B$$ a) Computing $[T]^C_B$ $T(1)=1.x^2=x^2\\ T(x)=x^2.x=x^3\\ T(x^2)=x^2.x^2=x^4$ then we have $T(1)=x^2=0.1+0.x+1.x+0.x^3+0.x^4\\ T(x)=x^2=0.1+0.x+0.x^2+1.x^3+0.x^4\\ T(x^2)=x^2=0.1+0.x+0.x^2+0.x^3+1.x^4$ Therefore, $[T(1)]_C=\begin{bmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \\ 0 \\ 0 \end{bmatrix}\\ [T(x)]_C=\begin{bmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \\ 0 \end{bmatrix}\\ [T(x^2)]_C=\begin{bmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{bmatrix}$ Hence, $[T]_B^C=\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0\\ 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0& 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1\end{bmatrix}$ We can notice that $[p(x)]_B=\begin{bmatrix} -1 \\ 5 \\ 6 \end{bmatrix}$ Consequently, $[T(v)]_C=[T]^C_B[p(x)]_B=\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0\\ 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0& 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} -1 \\ 5\\6 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 0 \\ 0\\ -1 \\ 5 \\ 6 \end{bmatrix}\\ \rightarrow T(p(x))= -x^2+5x^3-6x^4$ b) From part (a), we obtain: $T(p(x))=T(-1+5x-6x^2)=x^2(-1+5x-6x^2)=-x^2+5x^3-6x^4$
