## Determining Linear Independence of Functions

Determine whether the given set of functions is linearly independent on the interval \((-\infty, \infty)\).

\[ f_1(x) = 6, \quad f_2(x) = \cos^2(x), \quad f_3(x) = \sin^2(x) \]

- ○ Linearly dependent  
- ○ Linearly independent

---

In this exercise, you are asked to determine if the set of functions \( \{ f_1(x), f_2(x), f_3(x) \} \) are linearly independent over the interval \(( -\infty, \infty )\). 

Linear independence of functions implies that no function in the set can be written as a linear combination of the others.

To explore more about linear independence of functions, you might want to review the Wronskian determinant and its application in checking independence for functions: [Link to relevant educational material on linear independence]. 

Ensure that you evaluate the provided functions properly by analyzing their structure and applying the necessary theoretical concepts to determine their linear dependence or independence.
