Set of linear operators problem
Let S be a set of linear operators $ in L(mathbb{C^3}) $ so that no two linear operators are similar and so that
$$ A^{10} +3*A^9 +2*A^8 = 0 , forall A in S $$
How many elements can S contain?
I tried by looking at similarity invariants but don't really know what elements of S look like

Can you infer anything from $A^{10}+3A^9+2A^8=A^8(A+2I)(A+I)=0$?

Then S would contain three linear operators whose matrixes are the solutions of the equation? The three matrixes are not similar because they have different determinants?

Not only three. $A^8=0$ does not only imply $A=0$. $A$ can be nilpotent.

Also yes for your second question. Similar matrices have same determinants. But the converse is not true.

Seems to me, that uin this case there are not that many nilpotent operators - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nilpotent_matrix
