Verification: Investigation of a linear map on surjectivity and injectivity












2












$begingroup$


The linear map I'm investigating is defined like this:



$l_2: P_3(mathbb{R}) rightarrow mathbb{R}, l_2(p):= p'(1)$



And these are my calculations:



Injectivity:



$Let ,, p,q in P_3(mathbb{R}), ,, p(x) := 2x^3 ,, and ,, q(x):= x^3+x^2+x$



$Rightarrow l_2(p) = l_2(q) = 6 ,, but ,, p neq q Rightarrow l_2 ,, is ,, not ,, injective.$



Surjectivity:



$Let ,, p in P_3(mathbb{R}), ,, p(x):= ax^3+bx^2+cx+d ,, and ,, e in mathbb{R}$



Then



$l_2(p) = 3a+2b+c$



$3a+2b+c = e ,, so ,, for ,, example ,, a=frac{e}{3}; b=frac{e}{2} ,, and ,, c=e ,, would,, be ,,one,, possible,, solution,, s.t,, l_2(p) = -e.$



$Rightarrow l_2 ,, is ,, surjective.$

          For injectivity, what you have done is correct. However, your examples could have been much simpler. For example, just the constant polynomials $p_1 equiv 0$ and $p_2 equiv 1$ have derivatives identically zero, therefore $l_2(p_1) = l_2(p_2)$, although the two polynomials are different.



          Similarly for surjectivity, you are okay, but simply note that if $p_c(x) := cx$, then $p_c'(1)=l_2(p_c)=c$.

            $begingroup$

            Yes, this is correct. An easier way to see the lack of injectivity is that for any $fin mathcal{P}_3(mathbb{R})$,
            $$f'(1)=frac{d}{dx}(f(x)+c)bigg|_{x=1}$$
            for $c$ a constant. Surjectivity can be constructed using just the degree $1$ functions $g_a(x)=ax$. For instance, given any $ain mathbb{R}$, $g_a'(1)=a$.
