problem

For a matrix M,\mathbf{M}, the trace of M\mathbf{M} is defined as the sum of its diagonal elements. For example, \[\operatorname{Tr} \begin{pmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{pmatrix} = a + d.\]Given Tr(A)=2\operatorname{Tr} (\mathbf{A}) = 2 and Tr(A2)=30,\operatorname{Tr} (\mathbf{A}^2) = 30, find detA.\det \mathbf{A}.

For a matrix $\mathbf{M},$ the trace of $\mathbf{M}$ is defined as the sum of its diagonal elements.  For example,
\[\operatorname{Tr} \begin{pmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{pmatrix} = a + d.\]Given $\operatorname{Tr} (\mathbf{A}) = 2$ and $\operatorname{Tr} (\mathbf{A}^2) = 30,$ find $\det \mathbf{A}.$
