Here the mapping T:P2P2 is defined by (a+bx+cx2)=(a+1)+(b+1)x+(c+1)x2
Let V be a vector space and T:VVT:VV is said to be a linear transformation if for x,yV and k1,k2K (the given field) we have T(k1x+k2y)=k1T(x)+k2T(y).
Here let p(x)=1 and q(x)=xP2. Then T(1+2x)=1+1+(2+1)x=2+3x but T(1)+2T(x)=1+1+2(1+1)x=2+4x.
This shows that T(1+2x)T(1+2x) is not equal to T(1)+2T(x) and hence T is not a linear transformation. ​
