Work Step by Step

If A is similar to B, $A=PBP^{-1}$ If A is invertible, all of its eigenvalues are nonzero. This means all the diagonal values of B are nonzero, so each column in B is a pivot column, which means B is invertible. $B=P^{-1}AP$ $B^{-1}=(P^{-1}AP)^{-1}=P^{-1}A^{-1}P$, which shows us that $B^{-1}$ is similar to $A^{-1}$
