Let A, B be n × n matrices. The following are two incorrect proofs that ABhas the same non-zero eigenvalues as BA. For each, state two things wrong with the proof: (i) We will prove that AB and BA have the same characteristic equation. We have that det(AB − λI) = det(ABAA−1 − λAA−1) = det(A(BA − λI)A−1) = det(A) + det(BA − λI) − det(A) = det(BA − λI) Hence det(AB − λI) = det(BA − λI), and so...
