Determining whether $T$ is onto or not












3














Let $V=C[0,1]$, continuous real valued function on $[0,1]$




Consider the linear transformation $$T(f)=int_{0}^{x}f(t)dt$$



Is $T$ onto?




Attempts



What does onto mean? So for each $gin V$ we have some $fin V$ such that $T(f)=g$. In other words,



$$int_{0}^{x}f(t)dt=g(x)$$ Taking derivative on both sides(Using Leibniz Rule here) we get $f(x)=g'(x)$.



Take any function $g$ whose derivative does not exist in $[0,1]$ and we are done!.



Am I right??



Another approach would be to observe that constant function is not in the image of $T$.



If I am missing something please point out.

          Yes, you are right.



          Another way of proving that $T$ is not onto comes from noticing that you always have $T(f)(0)=0$. So, take a function $gin C[0,1]$ such that $g(0)neq0$ and you're done (again).

          Yes, you are right.



          Another way of proving that $T$ is not onto comes from noticing that you always have $T(f)(0)=0$. So, take a function $gin C[0,1]$ such that $g(0)neq0$ and you're done (again).
