Short Answer

Question: Consider linearly independent vectors v1,v2,....,vm in n and let A be an invertible m×mmatrix. Are the columns of the following matrix linearly independent?

[IV1IV2...IVmIII]A

Yes, the columns of the matrix linearly independent.

IV1IV2...IVmIIIA

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Definition of Linearly independent

Linearly independent is defined as the property of a set having no linear combination of its elements equal to zero when the coefficients are taken from a given set unless the coefficient of each element is zero.

Step 2: Prove the vectors are linearly independent

v1,v2,....,vm are linearly independent vectors.

We are given a m×m matrix A that is invertible.

Let’s say that

B=IV1IV2...IVmIII

Since they are independent we know that ker B = 0

Therefore kerBA = 0 so columns of AB are linearly independent.

Step 3: The final answer

Yes, the columns of the matrix are linearly independent.

IV1IV2...IVmIIIA
