Question:
Without the aid of the Wronskian, determine whether the given set of functions is linearly independent or linearly dependent on the indicated interval.
(a) f1(x) = ln x, f2(x) = ln x2, (0, ∞)
(b) f1(x) = xn, f2(x) = xn+1, n = 1, 2, . . . , (-∞, ∞)
(c) f1(x) = x, f2(x) = x + 1, (-∞, ∞)
(d)
(e) f1(x) = 0, f2(x) = x, (-5, 5)
(f) f1(x) = 2, f2(x) = 2x, (-∞, ∞)
(g) f1(x) = x2, f2(x) = 1 - x2, f3(x) = 2 + x2, (-∞, ∞)
(h) f1(x) = xex+1, f2(x) = (4x - 5)ex, f3(x) = xex, (-∞, ∞)
