I have to determine a basis of a given polinomyal subset. V is defined as:
I don't know how to start, maybe it could be helpfull to know that V is the subset of polynomial in the following form:
(x+1)g(x) with g(x) polynomial with degree at most 2

$$P (x)=ax^3+bx^2+cx+d $$ is an element of $V $ if only if
$$P (-1)=-a+b-c+d=0$$ thus $$d=a+c-b $$ and then $$P (x)=a (x^3+1)+b (x^2-1)+c (x+1) $$
$$\implies V=span (x^3+1,x^2-1,x+1) $$
theses polynoms are independant and forms a base of $V $.
