Do the vectors x3 1 x2 x x 2 span P3 Recall that P3 is th
     Do the vectors x^3 + 1, x^2 + x, x + 2 span P_3? (Recall that P_3 is the set of all polynomials of degree at most 3). 
  
  Solution
Standard basis for P3 is:
{1,x,x^2,x^3}
which is set of 4 linearly independent vectors. So P3 has dimension 4 and needs a minimum of 4 vectors to span
So given set of 3 vectors does not span P3
