Problem

Let

F

be a field and

V

the space of

n \times 1

matrices over

F

. Suppose

A

is a fixed

n \times n

matrix over

F

and

f

is the bilinear form on

V

defined by

f(X, Y) = X^t A Y

. Suppose

f

is symmetric and non-degenerate. Let

B

be an

n \times n

matrix over

F

and

T

the linear operator on

V

sending

X

into

BX

. Find the operator

T'

of Exercise 11.
