Note the following: \[ \begin{matrix} T(1) = x + 2\\ T(x) = x^{2} + 2x\\ T(x^{2}) = x^{3} + 2x^{2}\\ T(x^{3}) = x^{4} + 2x^{3} \end{matrix} \] So the coordinate vectors for $T(1)$, $T(x)$, $T(x^{2})$, and $T(x^{3})$ are \[ \left[T\left(1\right)\right]_{C} \,=\, \begin{bmatrix} 2\\ 1\\ 0\\ 0\\ 0 \end{bmatrix},\; \left[T\left(x\right)\right]_{C} \,=\, \begin{bmatrix} 0\\ 2\\ 1\\ 0\\ 0 \end{bmatrix},\; \left[T\left(x^{2}\right)\right]_{C} \,=\, \begin{bmatrix} 0\\ 0\\ 2\\ 1\\ 0 \end{bmatrix},\; \left[T\left(x^{3}\right)\right]_{C} \,=\, \begin{bmatrix} 0\\ 0\\ 0\\ 2\\ 1 \end{bmatrix} \] So the matrix representation for T is \[ \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 0 & 0 & 0\\ 1 & 2 & 0 & 0\\ 0 & 1 & 2 & 0\\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 2\\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \] \end{document}
