1. Check the vectors f (x) = e2x sinx and g(x) = e2x cosx for linear independence over R.

2. For what values of a is the set {(1, 1, 1 + a), (2, 2 + a, 2 + a), (3 + a, 3 + a, 3 + a)} linearly independent?
3. Does the set S = {3, x2 − x + 3, 3x3 + x2 − x + 5, 3x3 + x2 + 6} form a basis for P3 (R)? Give another
basis for P3 (R). If the set S is a basis then what is the number of elements in each of the two bases ?

also a basis for v.

(a) W1 = ad 0b 0c : a = b + c, c = b + d .
 
(b) W2 = ad eb 0c : a + c = d + e .
