Exercise 6

Avg difficulty 3.0

Does the equation sin⁡2(x)/cos⁡2(x)=tan⁡2(x)\sin^{2}(x)/\cos^{2}(x)=\tan^{2}(x) show that this set of functions {sin⁡2(x),cos⁡2(x),tan⁡2(x)}\{\hskip 1.00006pt\sin^{2}(x),\cos^{2}(x),\tan^{2}(x)\hskip 1.00006pt\} is a linearly dependent subset of the set of all real-valued functions with domain the interval (−π/2..π/2)(-\pi/2..\pi/2) of real numbers between −π/2-\pi/2 and π/2)\pi/2)?
