Example: Define T : P2 → R3 via
T(a + bx + cx2) = (a − 2b,3c − 2a,3c − 4b) for a,b,c ∈ R. Compute rank of T.
Solution. Since rank T = rank(MDB (T )) for any ordered basis B and D for P2 and R3, we take the standard basis for each vector space. Then
A = MDB(T) = [CD(T(1)) CD(T(x)) CD(T(x2))]. Reducing the matrix A gives

Example: (a) If T : V → V is an operator where V is finite dimensional, show that TST = T for some invertible operator S : V → V . (b) If A is an n × n matrix, show that AUA = A for some invertible matrix U.
Proof. (a)LetB={b1,…,br,br+1,…,bn}beanordered basis for V chosen so that kerT = span{br+1,…,bn} (the set is automatically a basis for ker T since it is a subset of a basis). Then {T (b1), . . . , T (br )} is a linearly independent set (why?), so can be extended to a basis for V , say {T(b1),…,T(br),fr+1,…,fn}. Define S : V → V via S(T(bi))=bi for1≤i≤randS(fi)=bi forr+1≤i≤n. Then S is an isomorphism (it sends basis to basis). Moreover, TST = T (look at each sides actions on the basis bi ).
(b) This is a consequence of part (a) (so TST = T ), where
T = TA : Rn → Rn, A = ME(T), and U = ME(S), where S is the map in part (a) and E is the standard basis for Rn. Then AUA = ME(T)ME(S)ME(T) = ME(TST) = ME(T) = A.

Definition: If T : V → V is a linear operator, we define
det T = det MB (T ), where B is any ordered basis for V (they all give the same answer, since if D is any other ordered basis of V, the matrices MB(T) and MD(T) are similar matrices). We define the trace tr(T ) = tr(MB (T )). It follows that det(ST ) = det S det T . The characteristic polynomial of T , CT(x) = CA(x) where A = MB(T) for any ordered basis B of V.

T(a + bx + cx2) = (b + c) + (a + c)x + (a + b)x2.

CT (x ) = det(xI − MB (T )) = x 3 − 3x − 2 = (x + 1)2 (x − 2).
Hence, detT = 2, tr(T) = 0, and
