(a) Show that T is a linear operator.
(b) Find the characteristic and minimal polynomials for T, with explanation. (For the characteristic polynomial, recall that you will need to choose a basis for , find the matrix of T relative to that basis, and find the characteristic polynomial of the matrix.)

Example 47) Let F be a field and Let be the polynomial ring over F. What does it mean for an Abelian group M to be a module over ?
First, note that the "constant polynomials" in form a copy of the
field F. Thus scalar multiplication of on M gives scalar multiplication of F on M, which makes M a vector space over F.
Second, consider the function defined by . (That is, equals the result of multiplying the polynomial x by v, using scalar multiplication of on M.) For any and , the requirements (M, where M are the properties of a module-see below) on the scalar multiplication imply and . That is, T is a linear operator on the F-vector space M.
Then given any and , the properties (M) imply
Conversely, suppose that M is any F-vector space and is a linear operator on M. We can define a scalar multiplication on on M by . This satisfies the requirements, making M an -module.
Exercise 38) Let M be an R-module. The annihilator of M in R is defined by
. Show that is an ideal of R.
Definition: Let R be a commutative ring with identity 1. A module over R (also called an R - module) is an Abelian group M (operation written +) together with a scalar multiplication which associates to each and an element rm of M; and , we require:
