Solution:
Given a non-singular 2 * 2 square matrix A.

Trace (A) = 4 and Trace (A^2) = 5.

We need to find the determinant of the matrix A.

Let's start with the formulas of trace and determinant:

- Trace of a matrix is the sum of its diagonal elements. For a 2 * 2 matrix, the trace is given by:

Trace (A) = a11 + a22

- Determinant of a matrix is the product of its diagonal elements minus the product of its off-diagonal elements. For a 2 * 2 matrix, the determinant is given by:

det(A) = a11 * a22 - a12 * a21

where aij represents the element in the ith row and jth column.

Using the above formulas, we can write:

- Trace (A^2) = a11^2 + 2*a12*a21 + a22^2

Now, we can use the given values of Trace (A) and Trace (A^2) to form equations.

- Trace (A) = 4

a11 + a22 = 4

- Trace (A^2) = 5

a11^2 + 2*a12*a21 + a22^2 = 5

We need to find the determinant of A. We can use the above equations to simplify det(A).

- det(A) = a11 * a22 - a12 * a21

Multiplying the first equation with a22 and the second equation with a11, we get:

- a22*(a11 + a22) = 4*a22

- a11*(a11 + a22) = 4*a11

Subtracting the above two equations, we get:

- a22*a11 - a12*a21 = 4(a22 - a11)

Now, we can use the given value of Trace (A) to simplify the above equation.

- a22*a11 - a12*a21 = 4(a22 - a11)

- a22*a11 - a12*a21 = 4(a22 + a22 - 4)

- a22*a11 - a12*a21 = 4(a22 + a22 - (a11 + a22))

- a22*a11 - a12*a21 = 4(Trace (A) - Trace (A^2)/2)

- a22*a11 - a12*a21 = 4(4 - 5/2) = 3

Substituting the above equation in det(A), we get:

- det(A) = a11 * a22 - a12 * a21

- det(A) = (a11 + a22)^2/4 - (a22*a11 - a12*a21)/4

- det(A) = (16/4) - (3/4)

- det(A) = 13/4

So, the determinant of the matrix A is 13/4.

Rounding off to one decimal place, we get:

- det(A) = 3.3

Therefore, the correct answer is '5.5', which is not obtained in this solution. It is possible that there is an error in the question or answer.
