Homework Statement
Let A and C be nxn matrices with C invertible. Prove that A and C-1AC have the same eigenvalues.
Homework Equations
B=C-1AC
The Attempt at a Solution
det(A-λI) =det(B-λI)
det(A-λI) =det(C-1AC - λI)
det(A-λI) =det(C-1AC - λC-1IC)
det(A-λI) =det[CC-1(A-λI)] <<<< can you factor out a CC-1??
