Homework Statement
If T is a nilpotent transformation from V -> V, V - finite dimensional vector space.
show that [tex]a_{0}+a_{1}T+\cdots+a_{k}T^{k}[/tex] is invertible. [tex]a_{0}[/tex] nonzero.
Im having trouble finding the inverse, I know for 1+T+[tex]\cdots[/tex]+T[tex]^{m-1}[/tex]
the inverse is (1-T),where T[tex]^{m}[/tex]=0. I also tried [tex]a_{0}^{-1}T^{m-1}[/tex]
but this gives me [tex]T^{m-1}[/tex]
