F1(x) = ex, f2(x) = e−x, f3(x) = sinh(x) g(x) = c1f1(x) + c2f2(x) + c3f3(x) Solve for c1, c2, and c3 so that g(x) = 0 on the interval (−[infinity], [infinity]). If a nontrivial solution exists, state it. (If only the trivial solution exists, enter the trivial solution {0, 0, 0}.)

(C1, C2, C3) = (K, K, -2K)

For K in the interval (-∞, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f1(x) = e^x

f2(x) = e^(-x)

f3(x) = sinh(x)

g(x) = 0

We want to solve for C1, C2 and C3, such that

C1f1(x) + C2f2(x) + C3f3(x) = g(x)

That is

C1e^x + C2e^(-x) + C3sinh(x) = 0

The hyperbolic sine of x, sinh(x), can be written in its exponential form as

sinh(x) = (1/2)(e^x + e^(-x))

So, we can rewrite

C1e^x + C2e^(-x) + C3sinh(x) = 0

as

C1e^x + C2e^(-x) + C3(1/2)(e^x + e^(-x)) = 0

So we have

(C1 + (1/2)C3)e^x + (C2 + (1/2)C3)e^(-x) = 0

We know that

e^x ≠ 0, and e^(-x) ≠ 0

So we must have

(C1 + (1/2)C3) = 0(1)

and

(C2 + (1/2)C3) = 0(2)

From (1)

2C1 + C3 = 0

=> C3 = -2C1(3)

From (2)

2C2 + C3 = 0

=> C3 = -2C2(4)

Comparing (3) and (4)

2C1 = 2C2

=> C2 = C1

Let C1 = C2 = K

C3 = -2K

(C1, C2, C3) = (K, K, -2K)

For K in the interval (-∞, ∞)
