Determine whether the set of vectors in P2 is linearly dependent or linearly independent
$begingroup$
I am getting conflicting answers to what the book has, am I setting this up correctly? I did row reduced echelon form in the calculator, I am unsure what to do from here or if I am doing it properly

$3(2-x)-(6-7x+x^{2})-(4x-x^{2})=0$, so the polynomials are linearly dependent.
$endgroup$
$begingroup$
can you show how you got that?

You can first take a linear combination of the second and third so that the $x^{2}$ term gets cancelled and then see if what you get is a multiple of the first polynomial. [n this case just adding the second and the third removes the second degree term and you will be left with $3$ times the first polynomial.

@isuckatprogramming Alternatively, you can first take a linear combination of the first and second polynomials so that the constant term is cancelled, and see that what you get is a multiple of the third. There are many ways to go here. I don't suggest starting with the first-degree term, though.
