 Solution

For all but finitely many $s\in \mathbb{C}$, the matrix $A-sI$ is invertible. Part (a), applied to $A-sI$ and $B$, then givesBoth sides are polynomials in the two variables $s,t$. Since they agree for infinitely many values of $s$, their coefficients as polynomials in $s$ agree. Setting $s=0$ yieldseven when $A$ is singular.
