Problem

Let VV be a finite-dimensional vector space over the field FF and let TT be a linear operator on VV. Let cc be a scalar and suppose there is a non-zero vector α\alpha in VV such that Tα=cαT\alpha = c\alpha. Prove that there is a non-zero linear functional ff on VV such that Ttf=cfT^t f = cf.
