Consider the following maps of polynomials \(S:\mathcal{P}\rightarrow\mathcal{P}\) and \(T:\mathcal{P}\rightarrow\mathcal{P}\) defined by

\[ S(h(x))= -4 \, x^{3} - 3 \, h\left(5\right) \hspace{1em} \text{and} \hspace{1em} T(h(x))= -5 \, x^{2} h\left(x\right) + h'\left(x\right) \]

Explain why one these maps is a linear transformation and why the other map is not.

Answer:

\(S\) is not linear and \(T\) is linear.
