May 23, 2012 at 17:05 comment added Robert Israel They are also polynomials, so their signs may flip somewhere, just (under the assumption they're nonzero at $\lambda$) not at $\lambda$. In your example, the roots of entries of the adjugate are $16.9$, $30.9$, $5263/70$, and $28.9 \pm \sqrt{314}$, none of which happen to be between $0$ and $-0.1$.
