You need to show two things, first that they are linearly independent and second that they generate the set of all polynomials.



I'll give you a hint for linear independence:



You want to show that if for all $x in mathbb{R} $



$$alpha_0 + alpha_1 x + alpha_2 x^2 + dots + a_nx^{n} = 0 tag{A}$$



then $alpha_0 = alpha_1 = dots = alpha_n = 0$.



To do that, note that the polynomial $(mathrm{A})$ is $0$ for all $x in mathbb{R}$. However the zero-polynomial



$$0 + 0 cdot x + 0 cdot x^2+ dots + 0 cdot x^n = 0 $$



is also $0$ for all $x in mathbb{R}$.
