Let V be a finite-dimensional vector space over F, and let S, T in L(V) be linear operators on V. Suppose that T has dim(V) distinct eigenvalues and that, given any eigenvector v in V for T associated to some eigenvalue lambda in F,  v is also an eigenvector for S associated to some (possibly distinct) eigenvalue mu in F. Prove that T composed of S = S composed of T.
