2. a) Yes.
p(x), q(x) Pn, T[p(x)] = p(0) and T[q(x)] = q(0).

T[(p + q)(x)] = (p + q)(0) = p(0) + q(0) = T[p(x)] + T[q(x)]

T[(rp)(x)] = (rp)(0) = rp(0).

b) No.
T( 0 ) = 0 + u 0 The T doesnt preserve zero vector.

c) Yes. The proof is similar to a).

4.

range(T ) = {0} doesnt mean the codomain should be zero vector space. For example,
T is the zero transformation from R2 to R. W is R.
