Check for Linear Dependence (of 2 functions)

Check for Linear Dependence of 2 functions,
2 functions are linearly dependent if one is a constant multiple of the other.

I think it might help if one just divides y1 by y2 (or the other way around), and see if the result is a constant (or if it can be a constant) without a remainder.

[@blackpenredpen]

Ah! I didn't think about it like that.

[@joshuahillerup4290]

Yup. Just make sure you don't have a zero function being compared

[@XperienceGames]

So clear! This helped me a ton with my quizzes. Thank you so much!

[@CCmoney2313]

Very easy and quick explanation. Thank you so much

Are the following sets of functions linearly independent or dependent on the positive x-axis? sinh^2x ,cosh^2x,1 can you solvit please

[@timmusician5060]

So to be more precise they need to be constant INTEGER multiples? Because you could have multiplied e^(6t) x e^(-3t) = e^(3t) and that would be true. C must be an integer then

[@youregonnaletityeetyouaway2882]

e^(-3t) is not a constant, its a function of t
