Response Details:
(a) R2 is a vector space of dimension 2 and R4 is of 4.
two vector spaces are isomorphic if their dimensions are equal.
so, R2 , R4 are not isomorphic.
(b) p5 means the set of all polynomials of degree 5 .
so, its dimension is 6.
it cannot be isomorphic a vector space of dimension 5 which is odf  R 5
(c) by assigning  we can show the isomorphism between P5 and M2x3.
 ( e) is an isomorphism between  the space of matrices with dimension 2k and the set of complex numbers of dimension k.

Question Details:
i need help also with this question. i don't know how to start. will rate high thank you

consider the isomorphism RepB ( ·) : P 1 → R ^2

where B = ?1, 1 + x?. Find the 

image of each of these elements of the domain. 

(a) 3 − 2x;

(b) 2 + 2x; 

(c) x
