"Let [tex]m_T(x), f_T(x)[/tex] denote the minimal and characteristic polynomials of T, respectively. Let k be a scalar. Show that
[tex]m_{T-k}(x) = m_T(x+k)[/tex] and [tex]f_{T-k}(x)=f_T(x+k)[/tex]."
I was able to show that the minimal polynomials were the same. But my argument was based on the minimality of the degree of m_T and it fails for characteristic polynomials.
