the 1 to 10 lectures.

• Upload assignments properly through LMS, No assignment will be accepted through email.
• Write your ID on the top of your solution file.
• Don’t use colorful back grounds in your solution files.
• Use Math Type or Equation Editor Etc. for mathematical symbols.
• You should remember that if we found the solution files of some students are same then we will
reward zero marks to all those students.
• Try to make solution by yourself and protect your work from other students, otherwise you and the
student who send same solution file as you will be given zero marks.
• Also remember that you are supposed to submit your assignment in Word format any other like scan
images, etc. will not be accepted and we will give zero marks correspond to these assignments.

Question No. 1 10 marks

Consider polynomials.
2
P ( x )=2 x −3 x +1
q ( x )=3 x 2−4 x +5
2
r ( x )=x + 11
(a) Determine whether the set of polynomials { P ( x ) , q ( x ) , r (x)} is linearly
independent or not.
(b) Find a linear dependence relation among P ( x ) , q ( x ) , r (x)

Solution:

Let a P ( x ) , bq ( x ) , cr (x ) be equal to 0

a P ( x )+ bq ( x )+ cr ( x )=0

a ( 2 x 2−3 x+ 1 ) +b ( 3 x 2−4 x +5 )+ c ( x 2 +11) =0

( 2 a x 2−3 ax +a ) + ( 3 b x 2−4 bx+5 b ) + ( c x 2+11 c ) =0

 2 2 2
2 a x −3 ax +a+3 b x −4 bx +5 b+ c x +11 c=0

( 2 a x 2+ 3 b x2 +c x 2 )+ (−3 ax−4 bx ) + ( a+5 b+ 11c )=0

Coefficient of x 2 :
2
x ( 2 a+3 b +c )=0

( 2 a+3 b+ c )=0 ------ (1)

Coefficient of x :
x (−3 a−4 b )=0

(−3 a−4 b )=0 ---------- (2)

( a+ 5 b+11c )=0 ----- (3)

From equation 2 taking value of a:

−4 b
a=
3

Putting value of a in equation 3:

−4 b
+5 b +11c=0
3
−4 b+15 b
+11c=0
3
11b
+ 11c=0

−11b
11c=

−11b
c= ×11

c=
3

Now putting value of a and c in equation 1:

 2(
−4 b
3
)+3 b+
−b
3 ( )
=0

−8 b 9 b b
+ − =0
3 3 3

b
[ −8 9 1
+ − =0
3 3 3 ]
b=0

Putting value of b in equation 2:

−3 a−4 (0)=0
−3 a−0=0
a=0

Putting value of a and b in equation 1:

2 ( a ) +3 ( 0 )+ c=0
c=0

(a) As a, b and c are equal to 0 then they are linearly independent.

(b) They are linearly independent so there is non-trivial dependency relation
among them.
