When I write out the definition of M from several slides back and follow the steps on this slide, I get a polynomial where you can factor out a lambda (meaning it would be = 0 if setting the determinant to 0). This doesn't seem to make sense, but I've checked it over and keep getting the same result (just using the definition). Am I missing something here?

Ahh nevermind I believe I found my mistake.. I was assuming that $$\Sigma I_x * \Sigma I_y = \Sigma I_x *I_y$$ which makes a big difference
