Proving that Mx is an eigenvector of B with λ as the eigenvalue given that $B=MAM^{-1}$ and $Ax=λx$
> The square matrix A has λ as an eigenvalue with corresponding eigenvector x. The non-singular matrix M is of the same order as A. Show that Mx is an eigenvector of the matrix B, where $B = MAM^{−1}$, and that λ is the corresponding eigenvalue.
Here is How I started:
$$Ax=λx$$
$$BM=MAM^{-1}M$$
$$BM= MA$$
$$BM= Mλx$$
Something is not right. Can someone shed some light? Thanks.
We have
$$B(Mx)=(BM)x=(MA)x=M(Ax)=M(\lambda x)=\lambda(Mx)$$ hence the desired result.
