17Linear Dependence Linear Independence
Definition 4.1
IF
for every x in I
IF not then we say linearly independent
Note Linear Combination
Is this set linearly dependent ??
18Linear Dependence Linear Independence
Definition 4.1
IF
for every x in I
IF not then we say linearly independent
Is this set linearly dependent ??
19Linear Dependence Linear Independence
Definition 4.1
IF
for every x in I
IF not then we say linearly independent
Special case
If a set of two functions is lin. Dep, then one
function is simply a constant multiple of the
other.
Is this set linearly dependent ??

IF not then we say linearly independent
Is this set linearly dependent ??
21Linear Dependence Linear Independence
Definition 4.1
IF
for every x in I

Remark
A set of functions is linearly dependent if at
least one function can be expressed as a linear
combination of the remaining
Is this set linearly dependent ??
