Short Answer

Determine whether the given functions are linearly dependent or linearly independent on the interval (0,) .

(a) {e2x,x2e2x,e-x}

(b) {exsin2x,xexsin2x,ex,xex}

(c) {2e2x-ex,e2x+1,e2x-3,ex+1}

  1. Given set of functions are Linearly Independent (LI).
  2. Given set of functions are Linearly Independent (LI).
  3. Given set of functions are Linearly Independent (LI).

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Determine the given functions are linearly dependent or linearly independent

<e2x,x2e2x,e-x>

Assuming scalars c1,c2,c3 such that

c1e2x+c2x2e2x+c3e-x=0

At

x=0c4=0=c2c1+c3=0

At x

c1()+c2()=0c1=c2=0=c3

Hence

Given set of functions are Linearly Independent (LI).

Step 2: Determine the given functions are linearly dependent or linearly independent

<exsin2x,xexsin2x,ex,xex>

Assuming scalars c1,c2,c3,c4 such that

c1exsin2x+c2xexsin2x+c3ex+c4xex=0

At x0

c4=0=c2

At x = 0

c3=0c1=c2=c3=c4=0

Hence

Given set of functions are Linearly Independent (LI).

Step 3: Determine the given functions are linearly dependent or linearly independent

<2e2x-ex,e2x+1,e2x-3,ex+1>

Assuming scalars c1,c2,c3,c4 such that

c12e2x-ex+c2e2x+1+c3e2x-3+c4ex+1=0

At x-

c2-2c3+c4=0

At x = 0

c1+2c2-2c3+2c4=0

At x = 1

e22c1+c2+c3=c1-c1

At x = -1

2c1+c2+c3+cc1-c1=0

From equation third and fourth we get

c2=-c1c4=c1c3=-c1

From equation second, we can get

c1=0c1=c2=c3=c4=0

Hence

Given set of functions are Linearly Independent (LI).
