Problem

Let TT be a linear operator on the vector space VV over the field FF. If ff is a polynomial over FF and α\alpha is in VV, let fα=f(T)αf\alpha = f(T)\alpha. If V1,…,VkV_1, \ldots, V_k are TT-invariant subspaces and V=V1⊕⋯⊕VkV = V_1 \oplus \cdots \oplus V_k, show that fV=fV1⊕⋯⊕fVk.fV = fV_1 \oplus \cdots \oplus fV_k.
