3. (a) Let V be the vector space over C of all polynomials in a variable x of degree at most 3. Let D : V → V
be the linear operator given by
D(p(x)) = xp′ (x)
Let A be the matrix of D with respect to some basis for V . Which of the following are true/false? (If the
statement is true, give the appropriate reason and if the statement is false then give your proper logic and
correct the statement.)
(i) A is a nilpotent matrix.
(ii) A is a diagonalizable matrix.
(iii) The rank of A is 2.
(iv) The Jordan canonical form of A is
