The Wronskian of two functions is found to be zero at x = x and all x in a small neighborhood of xo. Show that this Wronskian vanishes for all x and that the functions are linearly dependent. If xo is an isolated zero of the Wronskian, show by giving a counterexample that linear dependence is not a valid conclusion in general.
