Suppose VV is finite-dimensional and S,T,U∈L(V)S,T,U \in \mathcal L(V) and STU=ISTU = I. Show that TT is invertible and that T−1=UST^{-1} = US.


Clearly null U={0}\text{null }U = \{0\} meaning UU is invertible by 3.69. It's also clear that range S=V\text{range }S = V since for each v∈Vv \in V, S(TUv)=vS(TUv) = v meaning (again by 3.69) SS is invertible.
Inverting both of them gives T=S−1U−1T = S^{-1}U^{-1} which implies TT is invertible since it's the product of invertible maps, inverting both sides gives T−1=UST^{-1} = US as desired.
