If we transform the basis of P4, then Theorem SSRLT guarantees we will have a spanning set of R(T ).A basis of P4 is { 1, x, x2, x3, x4 }. If we transform the elements of this set, we get the set {0,1, x, x2, x3, x4}which is a spanning set for R(T ). Reducing this to a linearly independent set,we find that {1, 2x, 3x2, 4x3} is a basis of R(T ). Since R(T ) and P3 both have dimension 4, T is surjective.
