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$x_1Av_1+ x_2Av_2+ x_3Av_3= 0$.
 
I asked online questions about Proposition 2.1.1: The answer I got is the following: I have some questions about the answer I got. When the person answering says: ##1.## Is the map ##\mathfrak{q}\mapsto \mathfrak{q} A _\mathfrak{p}## from ##A\setminus \mathfrak{p}\to A_\mathfrak{p}##? But I don't understand what the author meant for the rest of the sentence in mathematical notation: ##2.## In the next statement where the author says: How is ##A\to...
The following are taken from the two sources, 1) from this online page and the book An Introduction to Module Theory by: Ibrahim Assem, Flavio U. Coelho. In the Abelian Categories chapter in the module theory text on page 157, right after presenting IV.2.21 Definition, the authors states "Image and coimage may or may not exist, but if they do, then they are unique up to isomorphism (because so are kernels and cokernels). Also in the reference url page above, the authors present two...
When decomposing a representation ##\rho## of a finite group ##G## into irreducible representations, we can find the number of times the representation contains a particular irrep ##\rho_0## through the character inner product $$ \langle \chi, \chi_0\rangle = \frac{1}{|G|} \sum_{g\in G} \chi(g) \chi_0(g)^*$$ where ##\chi## and ##\chi_0## are the characters of ##\rho## and ##\rho_0##, respectively. Since all group elements in the same conjugacy class have the same characters, this may be...
