A complexity class $mathbbC$ is said to be closed under a reduction if:
$A$ reduces to $B$ and $B in mathbbC$ $implies$ $A in mathbbC$
How would you go about proving this if $mathbbC = NP$ and the reduction to be the karp reduction? i.e.
Prove that if $A$ karp reduces to $B$ and $B in NP$ $implies$ $A in NP$

I was able to figure it out. In case anyone was wondering:
$B in NP$ means that there exists a non-deterministic polynomial time algorithm for $B$. Let's call that $b(i)$, where i is the input to $B$.
$A$ karp reducing to $B implies$ that there exists a function $m$ such that $m$ can take an input $i$ to $A$ and map it to some input $m(i)$ for $B$, and if an instance of $i$ is true for $A$ then $m(i)$ is true for B (and vice versa),
Therefore, an algorithm for $A$ can be made as follows:
$A (i)$
- Take input $i$ and apply $m$ to yield $m(i)$
- Apply $b$ with input $m(i)$
This yields an output for $A$. Since both $m$ and $b$ are non-deterministic polynomial time, this algorithm is non-deterministic polynomial time. Therefore $A$ must be in NP.
