{ ,,} a linearly independent set means that the equation
,
will be true only if , , are all equal to 0.
(The 0 on the right side is the zero column vector.)

In view of the fact that (i) there is no possibility for any of the vectors to become zero vectors or to be linear combinations of the other vectors because A is nonsingular, and (ii) the only possible values for the c constants are still 0, we conclude that { ,,} is still a linearly independent set.
