Example of Sample Matrix Independence Test: Linearly Independent Solutions of $y - y = 0$

Prove independence of the solutions $e^x$, $e^{-x}$ to:

$y - y = 0$

Proof

Choose samples $x_1 = 0$, $x_2 = 1$ from set $J = \R$.

Define $\map {f_1} x = e^x$, $\map {f_2} x = e^{-x}$.

Then the sample matrix is:

$S = \begin{bmatrix}

1 & 1 \\ e & 1/e \\ \end{bmatrix}$

Matrix $S$ is invertible.

Then $\map {f_1} x = e^x$, $\map {f_2} x = e^{-x}$ are linearly independent.

$\blacksquare$
