Proof of all polynomials with degree n can for a basis
$begingroup$
Prove that {$1, x, x^2, x^3, ... , x^n$} form a basis of $P_n$ ($n$ is a non-negative integer) , the space of the polynomials of degree $n$. Using a general proof.

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 $x in mathbb{R}$.
