Characteristic polynomial of an inverse matrix

Let AA be a 2×22 \times 2 real matrix, such that trace of AA is 5 and determinant of AA is 6. If the characteristic polynomial of (A+I2)−1(A + I_2)^{-1} is x2−bx+cx^2 - bx + c, where I2I_2 is the 2×22 \times 2 identity matrix, then bc\frac{b}{c} equals ________ (in integer).
