To find the transformation matrix A with respect to the given bases, we need to determine the coordinates of the images of the basis vectors of P3 under the linear transformation defined by f.Let's start by considering the first basis vector of P3, which is (1, 0, 0, 0) in S4. The image of this vector under f is (f(a0), f(a1), f(a2), f(a3)). To find the coordinates of this image vector with respect to B3, we need to express it as a linear combination of the basis vectors of B3.Since the first coordinate of the image vector is f(a0), which is the value of the function f at a0, we can write:f(a0) = c0(1) + c1(x) + c2(x^2) + c3(x^3)for some constants c0, c1, c2, and c3. Similarly, we can write:f(a1) = d0(1) + d1(x) + d2(x^2) + d3(x^3)f(a2) = e0(1) + e1(x) + e2(x^2) + e3(x^3)f(a3) = g0(1) + g1(x) + g2(x^2) + g3(x^3)for some constants d0, d1, d2, d3, e0, e1, e2, e3, g0, g1, g2, and g3.Substituting these expressions into the image vector, we get:(f(a0), f(a1), f(a2), f(a3)) = (c0, d0, e0, g0) + (c1, d1, e1, g1)x + (c2, d2, e2, g2)x^2 + (c3, d3, e3, g3)x^3
