The difference quotient at 0 lowers each degree by one: a shift matrix

Let R4[t]\mathbb{R}_4[t] be the vector space of polynomials with degree ≤4\le4. Find the matrix of the linear operator L(f(t))=(f(t)−f(0))/tL(f(t))=(f(t)-f(0))/t with respect to the standard basis {1,t,t2,t3,t4}\{1,t,t^2,t^3,t^4\}.
