**9. Use the information that the functions 1, x, x², ..., xⁿ are linearly independent on the real line and the definition of linear independence to prove directly that, for any constant r, the functions f₀(x) = eʳˣ, f₁(x) = xeʳˣ, f₂(x) = x²eʳˣ, ..., fₙ(x) = xⁿeʳˣ are linearly independent on the whole real line.**
If the functions f₁, f₂, f₃, ..., fₙ are linearly independent on the real line, then the identity c₁f₁(x) + c₂f₂(x) + ... + cₙfₙ(x) = 0 holds on I only when (1) _________.
To prove that the functions f₀(x) = eʳˣ, f₁(x) = xeʳˣ, f₂(x) = x²eʳˣ, ..., fₙ(x) = xⁿeʳˣ are linearly independent, the corresponding identity is (2) _________.
*What is the next step to prove the given functions are linearly independent?*
A. ☐ Write the above sum in terms of the linear independent functions 1, x, x², ..., xⁿ by isolating the common factor, xeʳˣ.
B. ☐ Write the above sum in terms of the linear independent functions 1, x, x², ..., xⁿ by isolating the common factor, xⁿeʳˣ.
C. ☐ Write the above sum in terms of the linear independent functions 1, x, x², ..., xⁿ by isolating the common factor, x²eʳˣ.
D. ☐ Write the above sum in terms of the linear independent functions 1, x, x², ..., xⁿ by isolating the common factor, eʳˣ.
Apply the above property to the identity. Thus, __________ = 0.
Since the product of two terms is zero, either (3) _________.
Can eʳˣ be zero?
☐ No
☐ Yes
Thus,
