I have the following characteristic equation by use of maple. How do I find a condition on x, that will return real eigenvalues and complex eigenvalues?

 

 

 

So here is the issue: I have a 50 by 50 tridiagonal matrix. The entries in the first row, first column are -i*x and the last row last column is -i*x; these are along the main diagonal, where i is complex and x is a variable. Everything in between these two entries is 0. Above and below the main diagonal the entries are -1. My issue is that I have to find a conditon on x that makes the eigenvalues real. I am completely new to maple and have no programming experience.. Can someone show me how to this?
