Homework Statement
L(p(t)) = t*dp/dt + t^2*p(1)
If p(t) = a*t^2 + b*t + c, find a basis for the kernel of L.
Homework Equations
None.
The Attempt at a Solution
I know that L(a*t^2 + b*t + c) = 0, so that would mean that the derivative needs to be zero and p(1) needs to be zero. This would lead me to believe a = b = c = 0, however {0,0,0} is not a basis. I am a bit confused here...
