We set $E_1 = \operatorname{Vect}(e_1, e_2, \ldots, e_d)$ where $e_i = f^{i-1}(x_1)$, and we denote by $\psi_1$ the endomorphism induced by $f$ on the vector subspace $E_1$,
$$\psi_1 : \left\lvert\, \begin{aligned} & E_1 \rightarrow E_1, \\ & x \mapsto f(x). \end{aligned} \right.$$
Justify that $\psi_1$ is cyclic.
