Step 1
For the polynomias, write them as coordinate vectors with respect to the conventional (ordered) basis 𝟛P3, namelyβ={1,t,t2,t3}
[1+2t3]β=(1002),[2+t3t2]β=(2130),[t+2t2t3]β=(0121)
Step 2
Create the matrix A=([1+2t3]β), and then row reduce it. Because each column has a pivot, the coordinate vectors are linearly independent, as must our polynomials be according to theorem 8 p. 237.
A=(120011032201)(120011001000)
Result
1+2t3,2+t3t2,t+2t2t3 are linearly distinct.
