Let T:P3→R4T:\mathcal{P}_3\to\mathbb{R}^4 be T(p)=(p(0), p(1), p(2), p(3))T(p) = \big(p(0),\ p(1),\ p(2),\ p(3)\big), where P3\mathcal{P}_3 is the space of polynomials of degree at most 33. Find the determinant of the matrix of TT with respect to the basis 1,x,x2,x31, x, x^2, x^3 of P3\mathcal{P}_3 and the standard basis of R4\mathbb{R}^4.
