If you let {v1, v2,...,vk} be linearly independent vectors in and A & B are n x n matrices. If you assume A is invertible how would you show that {A(v1), A(v2,)...,A(vk)} are linearly independent?

Also, if you know that {v1, v2,...,vk} are linearly independent and {B(v1), B(v2,)...,B(vk)} are linearly independent, how do you prove that B is invertible?
