PRACTICE 4.

1 (SOLUTION)

y1 y2 cos(ln x) sin(ln x) 1
1. W ( y1 , y2 ) 1 1
0 on the interval (0, )
y1 y2 x
sin(ln x) x
cos(ln x) x

Linearly independent

y1 y2 x3 x5
2. W ( y1 , y2 ) 2 4
2 x7 0 on the interval (0, )
y1 y2 3x 5x

Linearly independent

3. From the graphs of the functions y1 ( x) 2 x and y2 ( x) 2 x , we see that the

functions are not multiples of each other. Therefore the two functions are linearly
independent

y1 y2 e2 x xe2 x
4. W ( y1 , y2 ) 2x 2x
e4 x 0 on the interval ( , )
y1 y2 2e (2 x 1)e

Linearly independent
