Each of the following sets spans a subspace of the complex vector space of all functions from $\mathbb C$ to $\mathbb C$. In each case find a basis for the subspace and prove it is a basis; state the dimension

{$\exp(iz); \cos z;\sin z$}

{$\exp(iz); \cosh z;\sinh z$}

Hint for your first case $\;\{e^{iz}, \cos z, \sin z\}\;$:

Recall that $\;e^{iz} = \cos(z) + i\sin(z)$: this is a linear combination of $\cos z$ and $\sin z$.

What does this tell you about the linear-(in)dependence of the the vectors $e^{iz}, \cos z, \sin z\;$?

So the basis of the corresponding subspace must be: ... ?.

And the corresponding subspace then has dimension = ... ?
