linear algebra - Positive diagonal entries in 2times2 matrix

I am facing the following problem:





A symmetric 2×2 matrix A has eigenvalues λ1=3 and λ2=4. Compute the determinant and trace of A. Is the following statement true, false or depends on the particular entries of A?



"All diagonal entries of A are positive."




I know that det and \mbox{tr}(A) = 7. How can I determine the signs of the diagonal entries?
