Question
$\text{A}^2=\text{I}\Rightarrow$
  1. $|\text{A}|=0$
  2. $|\text{A}|=1$
  3. $|\text{A}|=-1$
  4. $|\text{A}|=\pm1$

Answer

  1. $|\text{A}|=\pm1$

Solution:

Given, $\text{A}^2=\text{I}$

Take determinant both sides,

$|\text{A}^2|=|\text{I}|\Rightarrow|\text{A}^2|=1\Rightarrow|\text{A}|=\pm1$
