Prove about eigenvectors and eigenvalues

37 Views Asked by At

Prove that if $\lambda$ and $\mu$ are different eigenvalues of $f$ and $v$ and $w$ are eigenvectors asociated with them respectively, then $v + w$ is not an eigenvector of $f$.

What could be the statement to prove it?

Thanks in advance.
