Consider the two vector-functions listed below. Justify your answers for each question.
x1(t) = [t, 2t] and x2(t) = [t , t^2]
(a) Are the vector-functions x1(t) and x2(t) linearly
independent on the interval (−∞,∞)?
(b) Does there exist a point t0 such that the constant vectors
x1(t0) and x2(t0) are linearly dependent?
(c) Can the vector-functions x1(t) and x2(t) be solutions to a first-order homogeneous linear system?
