Question:

Theorem UMCOB says that unitary matrices are characterized as those matrices that "carry" orthonormal bases to orthonormal bases. This problem asks you to prove a similar result: nonsingular matrices are characterized as those matrices that "carry" bases to bases.
More precisely, suppose that A is a square matrix of size n and B = {x1, x2, x3, ... , xn} is a basis of Cn. Prove that A is nonsingular if and only if C = {Ax1, Ax2, Ax3, ... , Axn} is a basis of Cn.
