A function that separates points of $mathbb{R}^N$
$begingroup$
Let $K$ be a compact non-empty subset of $mathbb{R}^N$. If $x in mathbb{R}^N$ and if $(k_1, k_2, dots, k_N), k_i in mathbb{Z}_+$, consider the function
$$x mapsto x_1^{k_1}x_2^{k_2}...x_N^{k_N}.$$
I want to show that the set $mathcal{A}$ of all linear combinations of such functions separates points of $K$.
Definition: a set of functions $S$ from a set $D$ to a set $C$ is said to separate the points of $D$ if for any two distinct
elements $x$ and $y$ of $D$, there exists a function $f$ in $S$ so that $f(x) neq f(y)$.
If $K subset mathbb{R}$, it's easy since the polynomial $f(x)=x$ separates all points, but I'm jammed with $K subset mathbb{R}^N$. The sum of coordinates to rational exponents was an easy start, but consider such a function $f$ and take $x,y in mathbb{R}^N, x = (1, 0, dots, 0), y = (0, 1, dots, 0)$, then $f(x) = f(y) = 1$. What could that function be?

The function $f(x_1,x_2) = x_1 + 2x_2$ separates $(1,0)$ and $(0,1)$.

The solution I had in mind is $f_i(x_1,dots,x_n) = x_i$, which separates points that differ in the $i$-th coordinate, so $S={f_1,dots,f_n}$ would work.
