Determinante di $$$\left[\begin{array}{cc}- \lambda & 1\\1 & - \lambda\end{array}\right]$$$

Calcola $$$\left|\begin{array}{cc}- \lambda & 1\\1 & - \lambda\end{array}\right|$$$.

Il determinante di una matrice 2x2 è $$$\left|\begin{array}{cc}a & b\\c & d\end{array}\right| = a d - b c$$$.

$$$\left|\begin{array}{cc}- \lambda & 1\\1 & - \lambda\end{array}\right| = \left(- \lambda\right)\cdot \left(- \lambda\right) - \left(1\right)\cdot \left(1\right) = \lambda^{2} - 1$$$

$$$\left|\begin{array}{cc}- \lambda & 1\\1 & - \lambda\end{array}\right| = \lambda^{2} - 1$$$A
