Work Step by Step

Assume $x=(x_1,x_2,x_3)\\ y=(y_1,y_2,y_3)\\ c\in R$ $T(f+g)=T((f+g)(0),(f+g)(1))\\ =T(f(0)+g(0),f(1)+g(1))\\ =(f(0),g(0)+(f(1),g(1))\\ =T(f)+T(g)$ $T(cf)=T(c(f)(0),(cf)(1))\\ =(cf(0),cf(1))\\ =c(f(0),f(1))\\ =cT(f)$ Hence, $T$ is a linear transformation Obtain: $Ker(T)=\{f \in C[0,1]:T (f)=0\}\\ =\{f \in C[0,1]: T(f)=0\}\\ =\{f \in C[0,1]: (f(0),f(1))=(0,0)$ Assume $f(x)=x^2-x\\ \rightarrow f(0)=f(1)=0\\ \rightarrow T(f)=(0,0)\\ \rightarrow f \in Ker(T)$ then $Ker(T)=\ne \{0\}$ $T$ is not one-to-one Apply Rank Nullity Theorem: $\dim [Ker(T)]+\dim [Rng(T)]=\dim R^3\\ \dim [Ker(T)]+2=\infty\\ \dim [Ker(T)]=\infty$ $Ker(T)$ is an infinite space. $Ker(T)=\{f \in C[0,1]:f(0)=f(1)=0\}$
