If A = 
(where bc ≠ 0) satisfies the equations x 2 + k = 0, then
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
A = 
bc ≠ 0
Characteristic equation is 
= 0 
= 0)
= 0 (a – x) (d – x) – bc = 0
x 2 – x (a + d) + ad – bc = 0
On comparing with the given equation x 2 + k = 0
a + d = 0, k = ad – bc =
