Image of a basis forms a basis, if and only if matrix is invertible Suppose $B_1=\{v_1,v_2,...,v_n\}$ is a basis of $\mathbb{R}^n$, and $M$ is an $n*n$ matrix. Prove that $B_2=\{Mv_1,Mv_2,...,Mv_n\}$ is also a basis of $\mathbb{R}^n$ if and only if $M$ is invertible.
Following is what I have so far:
Assume $B_2$ is basis of $\mathbb{R}^n$. 
Then, $B_2$ is a set of linearly independent vectors, and $B_2$ spans $\mathbb{R}^n$.
Since $B_1$ is also a basis of $\mathbb{R}^n$, then any element(vector) of $B_2$ is a linear combination of elements(vectors) of $B_1$ and vice-versa. 
$Mv_1= a_{11}v_1+a_{21}v_2+...+a_{n1}v_n$ , where $a_{11},a_{21},...,a_{n1}\in \mathbb{R}$
Likewise, $Mv_2= a_{12}v_1+a_{22}v_2+...+a_{n2}v_n$ , where $a_{12},a_{22},...,a_{n2}\in \mathbb{R}$
$\begin{bmatrix}Mv_1&Mv_2&...&Mv_n\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}v_1&v_2&...&v_n\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}a_{11}&a_{12}&...&a_{1n}\\a_{21}&a_{22}&...&a_{2n}\\ \vdots&\vdots&\vdots&\vdots\\a_{n1}&a_{n2}&...&a_{nn}\end{bmatrix}$
Not sure what to do next ...


$\begin{bmatrix}Mv_1&Mv_2&...&Mv_n\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}v_1&v_2&...&v_n\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}a_{11}&a_{12}&...&a_{1n}\\a_{21}&a_{22}&...&a_{2n}\\ \vdots&\vdots&\vdots&\vdots\\a_{n1}&a_{n2}&...&a_{nn}\end{bmatrix}$

The matrix on the right is just $M^T$. 
Suppose you have a linear combination of the original basis u = [$v_1,v_2...v_n$]$[c_1, c_2 ... c_n]^T$
And suppose you're trying to find a linear combination of the new basis
u = [$Mv_1,Mv_2...Mv_n$]$[c'_1, c'_2 ... c'_n]^T$
We can rewrite this as 
u = [$v_1,v_2...v_n$]$M^T[c'_1, c'_2 ... c'_n]^T$ =
[$v_1,v_2...v_n$]$([c'_1, c'_2 ... c'_n]M)^T$
So we can simply set $[c'_1, c'_2 ... c'_n] = [c_1, c_2 ... c_n]M^{-1}$
