To check - the set of polynomials {1,x2+3x4,2x27x4} is linearly independent in P4
Let, a1,a2, and a3 be scalars such that
a1(1)+a2(x2+3x4)+a3(2x27x4)=0
if
a1=a2=a3=0
Now solving equation
comparing both side we get
a1=0 (2)
a2+2a3=0 (3)
3a27a3=0 (4) a1(1)+a2(x2+3x4)+a3(2x27x4)=0
a1.1+a2.x2+3a2.x4+2a3x27a3x4=0
a1.1+(a2+2a3).x2+(3a27a3).x4=0.1+0.x+0.x2+0.x3
3x(3)3a2+6a3=0
(4)3a27a3=0
13a3=0
a3=0
(3)a2+0=0
a2=0
we get
a1=a2=a3=0
Hence, the given set of polynomials are linearly indepedndent in P4
