Answer:
Linearly independent, x = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
- We are given three functions as follows:
- We are to determine the linear - independence of the given functions. We will use the theorem of linear independence which states that:
Where,
c1 , c2 , c3 are all zeroes then for all values of (x),
- The system of function is said to be linearly independent
- We will express are system of equations as such:
- To express our system of linear equations we will choose three arbitrary values of ( x ). We will choose, x = 0. then we have:
- Next choose x = 1:
- Next choose x = 2:
- Solve the last two equations simultaneously we have:
.... ( Only trivial solution exist )
Answer: The functions are linearly independent
- The only zero exist is x = 0.
