Is There a Quicker Way to Find All Possible Values of h for fh(a+bx+cx2+dx3)?

The discussion revolves around finding all possible values of h in the linear transformation defined by fh(a+bx+cx^2+dx^3) represented by a 2x2 matrix. Participants express confusion about the nature of h, suggesting that it could take any real number, leading to a matrix with h as a parameter. The conversation highlights the need to clarify what is meant by "all possible values of h," as it may depend on specific properties desired from the transformation, such as kernel and image. The consensus is that h is not restricted but affects the transformation's characteristics, and participants are encouraged to compute the kernel and image for different cases of h. Ultimately, the task is to analyze how varying h influences the transformation without assuming specific values for other variables.

(0,1,-1,1) and (0,1,-1,-1)

In the spirit of your previous submissions, why not

span{(0, 1, -1, 0), (0, 0, 0, 1)} ?

Yes!
I originally though this could be the span:
span{ (0,0,0,1) , (0,1,-1,0) , (0,1,-1,-1) , (0,1,-1,1) }

But then I put each vector into a matrix and row reduced them and got the (0,1,-1,0) and (0,0,0,1) vector.

There is a second part to this question asking if there are any values of h ∈ R such that fh is not an isomorphism? Not sure if I should ask this in a new post or not. I'm not too sure where to start. I've found this problem extremely difficult.

Please start a new thread. This one is now at 95 posts. Let's put this one out of its misery...
