I've already explained that in my response #6. af(-1)+ bf(0)+ cf(1)= 0 for all polynomials of order 2 or less. Take f to be x2, x, and 1 and you get three equations to solve for a, b, and c.
So you are taking af(0)+ bf(-1)+ cf(1)= 0? That's not what I had before but perfectly legal.Since it has taken already too much time, I will give a shot.
If f = x^2, then
f(0) = 0
f(-1) = 1
f(1) = 1
=> a*0 + b*1 + c*1 = 0
You mean a*0+ b*(-1)+ c*1= -b+ c= 0, right?If f = x, then
f(0) = 0
f(-1) = -1
f(1) = 1
=> a*0 + b*1 + c*1 = 0
No, -b+ c= 0.If f = 1, then
f(0) = 1
f(-1) = 1
f(1) = 1
=> a*1 + b*1 + c*1 = 0
So we have three equations
b + c = 0
b + c = 0
The three equations you got, b+ c= 0, b+ c= 0, a+ b+ c= 0, the first two being the same, would give b= -c so that a+ b+ c= a- c+ c= a= 0 but does NOT mean b and c must be 0. for example b= 1, c= -1, a= 0 satisfy b+ c= 1- 1= 0, a+ b+ c= 0+ 1- 1= 0. That would prove S* is NOT linearly independent.a + b + c = 0
Simplifying
b + c = 0 (1)
a + b + c = 0 (2)
Substituting the equation (1) to (2)
a = 0
By trial and error, we know that
b = 0
c = 0
Thus,
a + b + c = 0
This means that S* is linearly independent.

I leave the rest for the questioner.

Since we are talking about polynomials of degree 2 or less, this reduces to
1) Find [itex]f_{-1}(x)= ax^2+ bx+ c[/itex] satisfying
a) [itex]f_{-1}(-1)= a- b+ c= 1[/itex] # I am not sure should this be 1
b) [itex]f_{-1}(0)= c= 0[/itex]
c) [itex]f_{-1}(1)= a+ b+ c= 0[/itex]
2) Find [itex]f_{0}(x)= ax^2+ bx+ c[/itex] satisfying
a) [itex]f_{0}(-1)= a- b+ c= 0[/itex]
b) [itex]f_{0}(0)= c= 1[/itex]
c) [itex]f_{0}(1)= a+ b+ c= 0[/itex]
3) Find [itex]f_{1}(x)= ax^2+ bx+ c[/itex] satisfying
a) [itex]f_{1}(-1)= a- b+ c= 0[/itex]
b) [itex]f_{1}(0)= c= 0[/itex]
c) [itex]f_{1}(1)= a+ b+ c= 1[/itex]
