Find the span of the following set of polynomials:


x^2 − x + 1, 2x + 1

To find the span of the set of polynomials \( \{x^2 - x + 1, 2x + 1\} \), we need to determine all the linear combinations of these polynomials. A span is essentially the set of all possible polynomials that can be formed by taking linear combinations of the given polynomials.

Let \( p_1(x) = x^2 - x + 1 \) and \( p_2(x) = 2x + 1 \).

A linear combination of these polynomials is expressed as:

\[
c_1 p_1(x) + c_2 p_2(x) = c
