Question: In Problem 8to 15, use (8.5)to show that the given functions are linearly independent.
$e^{ix},sin (x)$

Short Answer

Expert verified

It has been shown that the functions $e^{ix}$ and sin(x) are linearly independent for all values of x.

Step by step solution

Definition of Linearly Independent Functions

If neither of two functions is a constant multiple of the other, then they are said to be linearly independent functions.

Given Parameters

The given functions are $e^{ix}$ and sin(x).

Show that the functions $e^{ix}$ and sin(x) are linearly independent.

Checking for Linearly Independent Functions

A matrix having a determinant that is not zero shows that the system of equations is linearly independent.

$f_{1} (x) = e^{ix}$

$f_{2} (x) = \sin (x)$

Differentiate both the functions with respect to .

${f_{1}}^{'} (x) = {ie}^{ix}$

${f_{2}}^{'} (x) = \cos (x)$

Find the determinant

$|\begin{matrix} e^{ix} & \sin x \\ i e^{ix} & \cos x \end{matrix}| = e^{ix} (\cos x - i \sin x)$

But, $e^{ix} = (\cos x + i \sin x)$

$|\begin{matrix} e^{ix} & \sin x \\ i e^{ix} & \cos x \end{matrix}| = e^{ix} (e^{- ix}) |\begin{matrix} e^{ix} & \sin x \\ i e^{ix} & \cos x \end{matrix}| = 1$

Therefore, the functions $e^{ix}$ and sin(x) are linearly independent for all values of x.
