If I is the 2x2 identity matrix, show that there is an infinite number of matrices X with integer members such that X*X = I.

      | m    1+m |
X = 
      | 1-m   -m  |

whenever m is an integer, with |m| != 1, satisfies all the conditions of the given problem.

OR,

      | 1-t      2-t | 
X = 
      | t         t-1 |

whenever t is an integer , with  t! = 0, 2 also satisfies all conditions of the given problemsatisfy conditions of the problem.
