Let A be invertible. Show that, if $\textbf{$v_i,v_2,v_j$}$ are linearly independent vectors, so are \textbf{$Av_1,Av_2,Av_3$}

ok I think this is the the definition we need for this practice exam question,
However I tried to insert using a link but not successful
I thot if we use a link the image would always be there unless we delete its source

as to the question... not real sure of the answer since one $c_n$ may equal 0 and another may not

Anyway Mahalo...

Yes, that is the definition of "linearly independent" you need. Now, what are you trying to prove?

You have "Show that, if $v_1$, $v_2$, $v_3$ are linearly independent, then so are $Av_1$, $Av_2$, $Av_3$" but what is "A"? If it is a general linear transformation this is not true. If A is an INVERTIBLE linear transformation then it is true and can be shown by applying $A^{-1}$ to both sides of$x_1Av_1+ x_2Av_2+ x_3Av_3= 0$.
 
Thread 'Determine whether ##125## is a unit in ##\mathbb{Z_471}##'
This is the question, I understand the concept, in ##\mathbb{Z_n}## an element is a is a unit if and only if gcd( a,n) =1. My understanding of backwards substitution, ... i have using Euclidean algorithm, ##471 = 3⋅121 + 108## ##121 = 1⋅108 + 13## ##108 =8⋅13+4## ##13=3⋅4+1## ##4=4⋅1+0## using back-substitution, ##1=13-3⋅4## ##=(121-1⋅108)-3(108-8⋅13)## ... ##= 121-(471-3⋅121)-3⋅471+9⋅121+24⋅121-24(471-3⋅121## ##=121-471+3⋅121-3⋅471+9⋅121+24⋅121-24⋅471+72⋅121##...
