Question:
Let F be a field of characteristic zero and let D be the formal polynomial differentiation map, so that D(a0 + a1x + a2x 2 + · · · + anxn) = a1 + 2 · a2x + · · · + n · anxn-1.
a. Show that D : F[x] → F[x] is a group homomorphism of (F[x], +) into itself. Is D a ring homomorphism?
b. Find the kernel of D.
c. Find the image of F[x] under D.
