1. Please edit your question so it is self-contained (and does not rely on reading the title to make sense). 2. 33 percent acceptance rate? You don't like the answers you are getting on this site? – Gerry Myerson May 2 '12 at 1:50

Thanks for the heads up. I wasn't sure what the "accept rate" meant. I've remedied that. – quantum May 2 '12 at 2:23

Hint: For a matrix $X$, the determinant $det(X^H)=\overline{det(X)}$ where the overline indicates complex conjugation.

Examine $det((I\lambda-A)^H)$
