I will be honest, this question I have no clue where to even start. I know what eigenspace or gen eigen space or invariant space means but don't even know line 1 of proof. If someone can point me in the right direction or show me some ideas that would be fantastic.Screenshot 2021-10-30 131702.png
 
To show that EλE_\lambda is an invariant subspace for B one needs to show that xEλ:BxEλ\forall x \in E_\lambda : Bx \in E_\lambda. From the definition of EλE_\lambda it is enough to prove that if Ax=λxAx=\lambda x then ABX=λBXABX=\lambda BX. But ABX=BAX=Bλx=λBXABX=BAX = B\lambda x = \lambda BX. QED.
