Which of these sets is linearly independent?
(A) The set S = {v1, v2, ..., vr} be a set of vectors in R^n if r > n.
(B) The set that contains two vector such that one is given by the multiplication scalar of the other.
(C) The set that contains only the zero vector.
(D) The standard unit vectors { e1 = (1, 0, 0), e2 = (0, 1, 0), e3 = (0, 0, 1)} in the vector space R3.
Question:
Show that the set B = {2 + 5x, 2 + x^2, 1 + x + 4x^2} form a basis for P2(x).
