I In each case below determine if the following vectors in P2 (Polynomials of degree two) are linear
independent or linear dependent

a) 2−x +4 x2 , 3+6 x +2 x 2 , 2+10 x−4 x 2

b) 1+3 x+3 x 2 , x+ 4 x 2 , 5+6 x +3 x 2 , 7+2 x−x 2

II Show that the matrix below form a basis in M 22 (i.e are in the span of M 22 and are linear
independent), the set of matrices with dimension 2x2.
