The set of vectors A and C are linearly independent.

Step-by-step explanation:

A set of vector is linearly independent if and only if the linear combination of these vector can only be equalised to zero only if all coefficients are zeroes. Let is evaluate each set algraically:

$p_{1}(t) = 1$ , $p_{2}(t)= t^{2}$ and $p_{3}(t) = 3 + 3\cdot t$ :

$\alpha_{1}\cdot p_{1}(t) + \alpha_{2}\cdot p_{2}(t) + \alpha_{3}\cdot p_{3}(t) = 0$

$\alpha_{1}\cdot 1 + \alpha_{2}\cdot t^{2} + \alpha_{3}\cdot (3 +3\cdot t) = 0$

$(\alpha_{1}+3\cdot \alpha_{3})\cdot 1 + \alpha_{2}\cdot t^{2} + \alpha_{3}\cdot t = 0$

The following system of linear equations is obtained:

$\alpha_{1} + 3\cdot \alpha_{3} = 0$

$\alpha_{2} = 0$

$\alpha_{3} = 0$

Whose solution is $\alpha_{1} = \alpha_{2} = \alpha_{3} = 0$ , which means that the set of vectors is linearly independent.

$p_{1}(t) = t$ , $p_{2}(t) = t^{2}$ and $p_{3}(t) = 2\cdot t + 3\cdot t^{2}$

$\alpha_{1}\cdot p_{1}(t) + \alpha_{2}\cdot p_{2}(t) + \alpha_{3}\cdot p_{3}(t) = 0$

$\alpha_{1}\cdot t + \alpha_{2}\cdot t^{2} + \alpha_{3}\cdot (2\cdot t + 3\cdot t^{2})=0$

$(\alpha_{1}+2\cdot \alpha_{3})\cdot t + (\alpha_{2}+3\cdot \alpha_{3})\cdot t^{2} = 0$

The following system of linear equations is obtained:

$\alpha_{1}+2\cdot \alpha_{3} = 0$

$\alpha_{2}+3\cdot \alpha_{3} = 0$

Since the number of variables is greater than the number of equations, let suppose that $\alpha_{3} = k$ , where $k\in\mathbb{R}$ . Then, the following relationships are consequently found:
