Follows by writing $T$ in an eigenbasis:
then the diagonal entries are the eigenvalues.
\end{hint}
\begin{sol}
We saw already the trace is always the sum of the eigenvalues, in \emph{any} basis.
In particular, choosing the Jordan form basis from the previous chapter
gives the result because the Jordan form has the eigenvalues for its diagonal entries.

if $\lambda$ is not an eigenvalue at all.)
