Prove that {$sin(x) , sin(2x) , sin(3x) ,...,sin(nx)$} is independent in $mathbb{R}$




my trial :



we know that the Wronsekian shouldn't be $0$ to get the trivial solution and thus they are independent. its not trivial to show that $ W not = 0$



W =



begin{vmatrix}
(1)sin(x) & (1)sin(2x) & (1)sin(3x) & ... & (1)sin(nx) \
(1)cos(x) & (2)cos(2x) & (3)cos(3x) & ... & (n)cos(nx) \
-(1)^2sin(x) & -(2)^2sin(2x) & -(3)^2sin(3x) & ... & -(n)^2sin(nx) \
-(1)^3cos(x) & -(2)^3cos(2x) & -(3)^3cos(3x) & ... & -(n)^3cos(nx) \
end{vmatrix}



and so on. it looks like Vandermonde matrix but i cant prove that and so we conclude that its $Wnot =0$

If $sum_{j=1}^{n} c_j sin (jx)$=0 for all $x$ you can prove that each $c_k=0$ by multiplying both sides by $sin(kx)$ and and integrating from $-pi$ to $pi$. Use the fact that $int_{-pi}^{pi} sin(jx)sin (kx), dx =0$ if $j neq k$. This proves the stronger result that the sequence is independent on $[-pi,pi]$.

    the solution is simple as they mentioned above , yet the integral above proves that they are independent only in $ [-pi,pi] $ right ? can we do that for $Re$ in a similar way ?
