QUESTION:

Show that the space \(C(\mathbb{R})\) of all continuous functions defined on the real line is an infinite-dimensional space.

ANSWER:

Solution 28E

Step 1 of 3

Assume that the space of all continuous functions.

Objective is to show that  defined on the real line is an infinite dimensional space.

Let  be the real vector space of all continuous real valued functions on the interval

For any value of  the list  is linearly independent in

To prove this suppose that there are, such that

 For every

Thus, all the coefficients are zero; hence the set is linearly independent in
