Show that {1, cos t, cos 2 t,...,cos 6 t} is a linearly independent set of functions

Question:

Show that {1, cos t, cos2 t,...,cost} is a linearly independent set of functions defined on R. Use the method of Exercise 47.



Data from in Exercise 47


Show that {t, sin t, cos 2t, sin t cos t} is a linearly independent set of functions defined on R. Start by assuming that

Equation (5) must hold for all real t, so choose several specific values of t (say, t = 0, .1, .2) until you get a system of enough equations to determine that all the cj must be zero.
