linear algebra - Adjoint of derivative operator on polynomial space

I was working on a problem when I made the following reasoning.




I know that every linear operator T:VV on a Hilbert space (V,.,.) such that dim(V)< has one (unique) adjoint operator T:VV (that is, Tu,v=u,Tv u,vV).



So if V:=Pn is the space of all polynomials with degree less than or equal to nN (which gives dim(V)=n+1<) and f,g:=10f(t)g(t)dt, what is the adjoint of the derivative operator T=ddt?



I've tried to solve that, but still to no avail. I wonder if that is a silly question, but I haven't had any success searching for the answer either, so I apologize in advance if that's the case.
