a) Only a trivial solution exists.

b) Since there is only a trivial solution, then we infer that the set of functions is linearly independent.

a) According to Linear Algebra, a set of elements is linearly independent if and only if a coefficient at least within a linear combination under the following form is not zero:

$\Sigma\limits_{i=1}^{n} c_{i}\cdot v_{i} = 0$ (1)

Where:

$c_{i}$ - i-th coefficient. $v_{i}$ - Set element.

If we know that $v_{1} = 0$ , $v_{2} = x$ and $v_{3} = e^{x}$ , then we have the following expression:

$c_{1}\cdot 0 + c_{2}\cdot x + c_{3}\cdot e^{x} = 0$

Given that $v_{1} = 0$ , we conclude that $c_{1}$ can be any real number and we can reduce (1) by Compatibility with Addition:

$c_{1}\cdot 0 + c_{2}\cdot x + c_{3}\cdot e^{x} = 0+0$

$c_{2} \cdot x + c_{3}\cdot e^{x} = 0$

$e^{x} = -\frac{c_{2}}{c_{3}} \cdot x$

$e^{x}$ is a trascendental function bounded between 0 and $+\infty$ and represents a polynomic function with all real numbers as domain. There is a trivial solution for x = 0 , but nontrivial ones for all $x \ne 0$ . Hence, we have the following finding:

$v_{1}$ , $v_{2}$ and $v_{3}$ have a set of the form $\left\{\frac{c_{1}}{c_{3}}, \frac{c_{2}}{c_{3}}, 1 \right\}$ for all $c_{3}\ne 0$ .

Now if we consider $c_{3} = 0$ and $c_{1}$ represents any real number, then we reduce (1) into this:

$c_{1}\cdot 0 + c_{2} \cdot x = 0$

And the only choice to meet this linear combination is considering that $c_{2} = 0$ .

Hence, we have a trivial solution.

b) In consequence, the three functions are linearly independent since it is guaranteed that trivial solution is the only existing solution.

(c_1,c_2,c_3)=(0,0,0)

Linearly independent

Step-by-step explanation:

The given functions are:

f_1(x)=0,f_2(x)=x,f_3(x)=e^x

g(x)=c_1f_1(x)+c_2f_2(x)+c_3f_3(x)

We want to solve for c_1,c_2, and c_3 so that g(x)=0 on the interval $(-\infty,\infty)$ .

Let us substitute to get:

$c_1\cdot 0+c_2\cdot x+c_3\cdot e^x=0$

This implies that:

$0+c_2x+c_3e^x=0\\\implies c_2x+c_3e^x=0$ --->eqn1

Let us differentiate each ter wrt x to get:

c_2+c_3e^x=0 ---->eqn2

Make c_2 the subject in equation (2) to get:

c_2=-c_3e^x ---->eqn3

Substitute c_2=-c_3e^x into equation (1) to get:

-c_3xe^x+c_3e^x=0

Factor nicely to get:

c_3(1-x)e^x=0

Note that we are after constants that will this equation true for all x. The only way this could be possible is when c_3=0

Put c_3=0 into eqn3 to get:

$c_2=-\cdot 0\cdot e^x\\\implies c_2=0$

Let us substitute everything into g(x) to find c_1

$c_1\cdot 0+0\cdot x+0\cdot e^x=0$

This implies that:

$c_1\cdot 0+0+0=0\\\implies c_1\cdot 0=0$

By the zero product principle , for r $c_1\cdot 0=0$ , we must have either o=o or c_1=0 .

Since 0=0 is true, c_1=0 is also true

Since c_1f_1(x)+c_2f_2(x)+c_3f_3(x)=0 for all x, if c_1=0,c_2=0,c_3=0 , the functions f_1(x)=0,f_2(x)=x,f_3(x)=e^x are linearly independent.
