4. Let f1, f2, f3 be functions in F(R).
a. For a set of real numbers x, X2, X3, let (f(x,)) be the 3-by-3 matrix
whose (i, j) entry is f(x;), for 1 < i, js 3. Prove that the functions
f1, f2, f3 are linearly independent if the rows of the matrix (f(x;)) are
linearly independent.
b. Assume the functions f1, f2, f3 have first and second derivatives on some
interval (a, b), and let W(x) be the 3-by-3 matrix whose (i, j) entry is
fU-), for 1 < i, j< 3, where f(0) = f, f(1) = f' and f(2) = f" for a dif-
ferentiable function f. Prove that f, f2, f3 are linearly independent if
for some x in (a, b), the rows of the matrix W(x) are linearly independent.
Show that the following sets of functions are linearly independent.
c. f;(x) = -x² + x + 1, f2(x) = x² + 2x, f3(x) = x² – 1.
d. f,(x) = e¯*, f2(x) = x, f,(x) = e2ª.
e. fi(x) = e*, f2(x) = sin x, f3(x) = cos x.
Note that if the tests in (a) or (b) fail, it is not guaranteed that the functions are
linearly dependent.
