Let $p_n(x)=x^n$ for $x\in \Bbb{R}$ and let P=span$\{p_0,p_1,p_2,p_3\dots\}$. Then-
P is the vector space of all real valued continuous functions on R
P is a subspace of all real valued continuous functions on R.
- The set $\{p_0,p_1,p_2,p_3\dots\}$ is linearly independent in the vector space of all continuous functions on R
- Trigonometric functions belong to P
I can easily see option 1. is false and option 2. and 3. are correct but I am not sure about option 4.
Why would any trigonometric function not belong P= span $\{p_0,p_1,p_2,p_3\dots\}$
Some functions cannot be written as Taylor series because they have a singularity for example $f(z) = \frac{1}{1-\cos z}$.
