From my Linear Algebra class (ungraded) pratice work: "If AB is a defined product of matrices A and B, and the columns of AB are linearly independent, is it necessarily the case that the columns of B are also linearly independent?" So I got this far: (AB)x = 0 has only the trivial solution by the associative law of multiplication, (AB)x = A(Bx) = 0 from here, I'm not sure how to show the columns of B must be linearly independent.

Question
From my
"If AB is a defined product of matrices A and B, and the columns of AB are linearly independent, is it necessarily the case that the columns of B are also linearly independent?"
So I got this far:
(AB)x = 0 has only the trivial solution
by the associative law of multiplication, (AB)x = A(Bx) = 0
from here, I'm not sure how to show the columns of B must be linearly independent.
