Suppose y 1 , y 2 , . . . , y k are k linearly independent

Question:

Suppose y1, y2, . . . , yk are k linearly independent solutions on (‑∞, ∞) of a homogeneous linear nth-order differential equation with constant coeffi­cients. By Theorem 4.1.2 it follows that yk+1 =­ 0 is also a solution of the differential equation. Is the set of solutions y1, y2, . . . , yk, yk+1 linearly dependent or linearly independent on (‑∞, ∞)? Discuss.
