1. Let T : R4 R such that T (1, 0, 0, 0) = 2, T (1, 1, 0, 0) = 1, T (1, 1, 1, 0) = 5

and T (1, 1, 1, 1) = 4. Find the values of T (6, 3, 2, 1), T (5, 0, 1, 2) and T (1, 2, 3, 4).

2. Let V = P2 (R) Let B = {v1 , v2 , v3 } = {1 + x, 1 + x2 , x + x2 } be a basis of V . Let

C = {u1 , u2 , u3 } = {1, 1 + x, 1 + x + x2 } be another basis of V . Find [u]B and [u]C
where u = (1 + 4x x2 ). Also find a matrix of the change of basis from B to C
i.e. find P such that BP = C.
