Consider the question about which statements are true.
Option A discusses the set {e^t, e^{2t}} on R. To test independence, suppose c1 e^t + c2 e^{2t} = 0 for all t. This is a linear combination of two distinct exponential functions with different growth rates. Evaluating at different t-values or using the fact that e^t and e^{2t} are not scalar multiples of each other shows that the only solution is c1 = c2 = 0, so the functions are linearly independent. Therefore, Statement A is true.

Option B concerns {sin(3t), cos(3t)} on the interval (0, 2π). A standard result in real analysis is that sine and cosine of the same frequency are linearly independent as functions: if a·sin(3t) + b·cos(3t) = 0 for all t in the interval, then a = 0 and b = 0. Hence the pair is linearly independent, not dependent. This makes Statement B false.

Option C looks at {1, t^2} on R. If a + b t^2 = 0 for all t, then evaluating at t = 0 gives a = 0, and comparing coefficients shows b must also be 0. Therefore the only solution is a = b = 0, and the set is linearly independent. Thus Statement C is true.

In summary, A is true because e^t and e^{2t} are not scalar multiples; B is false because sin(3t) and cos(3t) are independent; C is true because 1 and t^2 are not constant multiples of each other over R.
