Let A be a 3x3 nonsingular (invertible) matrix. Prove that if {v1, v2, v3} is a linearly independent set, then {Av1, Av2, Av3} is a linearly independent set.
Added by Tammy M.
Step 1
We are given that {v1, v2, v3} is a linearly independent set. This means that the only solution to the equation c1 * v1 + c2 * v2 + c3 * v3 = 0 is c1 = c2 = c3 = 0. Show more…

Prove from Definition 4.5 .4 that if $\left\{v_{1}, v_{2}, \ldots, v_{n}\right\}$ is linearly independent and if $A$ is an invertible $n \times n$ matrix, then the set $\left\{A \mathbf{v}_{1}, A \mathbf{v}_{2}, \ldots, A \mathbf{v}_{n}\right\}$ is linearly independent.
