Example comparing bilinear to linear maps

Addition is a linear map

Here we will show that addition, given by:
Take $T:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ with

$$T(x)=x+x$$
is a linear map

To be a linear map

$$T(ax+by)=aT(x)+bT(y)$$ , so take:

$$T(ax+by)=ax+by+ax+by=a(x+x)+b(y+y)=aT(x)+bT(y)$$ as required.

Given the field was $\mathbb{R}$ we could have used the number

$$2$$ of course. However this proof works for any field.

Thus addition is a linear map.

Addition is not bilinear
