Let P11(x) be the real vector space of polynomials, in the variable x with real coefficients and having degree at most 11, together with the zero polynomial. Let
E = {s0(x), s1(x), ... , s11(x)}, F = {r0(x), r1(x), ... , r11(x)}
be subsets of P11(x) having 12 elements each and satisfying
s0(3) = s1(3) = ⋯ = s11(3) = 0 , r0(4) = r1(4) = ⋯ = r11(4) = 1 .
Then, which one of the following is TRUE?
1
Any such E is not necessarily linearly dependent and any such F is not necessarily linearly dependent
2
Any such E is necessarily linearly dependent but any such F is not necessarily linearly dependent
3
Any such E is not necessarily linearly dependent but any such F is necessarily linearly dependent
4
Any such E is necessarily linearly dependent and any such F is necessarily linearly dependent
