Let $A$ be a $2 \times 2$ matrix with real entries. Let $I$ be the $2 \times 2$ identity matrix. Denote by $tr(A)$ the sum of diagonal entries of $A$. Assume that $A^2 = I$.
Statement-$1$: If $A \neq I$ and $A \neq -I$,then $\det(A) = -1$.
Statement-$2$: If $A \neq I$ and $A \neq -I$,then $tr(A) \neq 0$.
