Hi there!
Thank you for posting your question to Brainmass!
What you actually want to show is that A and B share the same eigenvectors. since B and a are hemitians, the matrix that is constructed from these eiegenvectors will diagonalize them both.
An eigen vector is defined as:
(A-wI)v=0
Where I is the identity ...
