Find a determinant for a linear map $Z in M_{7×7}(mathbb R)$ if you know that $Z^{2}-8Z^{-1}$ is a zero...

$begingroup$


I have a trouble with this task because I think that I need clever way to do this easy and fast.

However I don't have any idea to don't count it. My only idea is to firstly calculate $Z^{2}$ but then I will have a lot of parameters because I don't have knowledge about $Z$ and I think this idea is impossible to make.

How do it in intelligent way?

    $Z^2=8Z^{-1}$ hence the determinant satisfies the equation $x^2 = 8^7/x.$

Then $Z^3=8I$, so $(det Z)^3 = 8^7$. Hence $det Z = 2^7$.

    In $M_{7 times 7}$, $8I$ is a matrix with all off-diagonal elements equal to $0$ and all (seven) diagonal elements equal to $8$. Its determinant is the product of the diagonal elements.

Then $Z^3=8I$, so $Z$ is diagonalisable, and its eigenvalues are in the set
${2,2omega,2omega^2}$ where $omega=exp(2pi i/3)$. The determinant of
$Z$ is a product of seven of these, and is real....
