Maths Problem

1)Matrix question
Code:
   If |a b| *|x| = k *|x|
      |c d|   |y|        |y|
, prove that k satisfies the equation k^2 - (a+d)k+(ad-bc)=0. If the root of this quadratic equation are A and B, find the calue of A + B and AB in terms of a, b, c and d. Hence, or otherwise, prove that 
  |a b| * |  b     b   | = | b      b  | * |A 0|
  |c d|    |A-a  B-a  |   |A-a   B-a|    |0 B|
Sorry for the uglyness of the thing, if you know how to change, would you mind teaching me to do so.
