  <statement>
    <p>Consider the following maps of polynomials <m>S:\mathcal{P}\rightarrow\mathcal{P}</m> and <m>T:\mathcal{P}\rightarrow\mathcal{P}</m> defined by
            <me>
                S(g(x))=
     -5 \, x^{3} g\left(x\right) - 4 \, g'\left(x\right) 
                \hspace{1em} \text{and} \hspace{1em} T(g(x))=
     5 \, g\left(x\right)^{2} - 3 \, g\left(1\right) </me>
    Explain why one these maps is a linear transformation and why the other map is not.
    </p>
