Let $a$ and $b$ be non-zero real numbers such that $ab = 5/2$. Given $A = \begin{bmatrix} a & -b \\ b & a \end{bmatrix}$ and $AA^T = 20I$ (where $I$ is the identity matrix),the quadratic equation whose roots are $a$ and $b$ is:

  • A
    $x^2 \mp 10x + 5 = 0$
  • B
    $2x^2 \pm 10x + 5 = 0$
  • C
    $x^2 - 5x + 5/2 = 0$
  • D
    $x^2 - 25x + 5/2 = 0$
