Short Answer

Define an isomorphism from P3 to R3.

The solution is not to define an isomorphism.

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step1: Definition of Linear Transformation

Consider two linear spaces V and W. A function T is said to be linear transformation if the following holds.

T(f+g)=T(f)+T(g) T(kf)=kT(f)

For all elements f,g of V and k is scalar.

A linear transformation T:VW is said to be an isomorphism if and only if ker(T)={0} and im(T)=W or dim(V)=dim(W).

Step2: Explanation of the solution

Consider the transformation as follows.

T:P3R3

Since,role="math" localid="1659418414775" dim(P3)=4 and dim(R3)=3

Therefore, dim(P3)dm(R3).

Any two finite dimensional spaces will be isomorphic if and only if they will have the same dimension.

Thus, there is not possible to define any isomorphism from P3 to R3.
