16.1 Show that $e^{2x}$, sin(2x) are linearly independent on $(-\infty,+\infty)$

that was the example but...

\begin{align*}
w(e^x,\cos x)&=\left|\begin{array}{rr}e^x&\cos{x} \\ e^x&-\cos{x} \\ \end{array}\right|\\
&=??\\
&=??
\end{align*}
 
Physics news on Phys.org
$$=e^x(-\cos(x)-\cos(x))=-2e^x\cos(x)\dots$$

But don't you need to calculate $w\left(e^{2x},\cos(2x)\right)?$ What do you get for that?

$$w(e^x,\cos{x}) = \begin{vmatrix}
e^x & \cos{x}\\
e^x & -\sin{x}
\end{vmatrix} = -e^x(\sin{x}+\cos{x})$$
 
Sorry everybody I think this thread went off the rails
my 2nd post was way off
so Ill post another new one of a similar problem

Thread 'Determine whether ##125## is a unit in ##\mathbb{Z_471}##'
This is the question, I understand the concept, in ##\mathbb{Z_n}## an element is a is a unit if and only if gcd( a,n) =1. My understanding of backwards substitution, ... i have using Euclidean algorithm, ##471 = 3⋅121 + 108## ##121 = 1⋅108 + 13## ##108 =8⋅13+4## ##13=3⋅4+1## ##4=4⋅1+0## using back-substitution, ##1=13-3⋅4## ##=(121-1⋅108)-3(108-8⋅13)## ... ##= 121-(471-3⋅121)-3⋅471+9⋅121+24⋅121-24(471-3⋅121## ##=121-471+3⋅121-3⋅471+9⋅121+24⋅121-24⋅471+72⋅121##...
