Consider the matrix $${J_6} = \left[ {\matrix{ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \cr 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \cr 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 \cr 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \cr 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \cr 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \cr } } \right]$$

Which is obtained by reversing the order of the columns of the identity matrix $${{\rm I}_6}$$. Let $$P = {{\rm I}_6} + \alpha \,\,{J_6},$$ where $$\alpha $$ is a non $$-$$ negative real number. The value of $$\alpha $$ for which det $$(P)=0$$ is _______.

For matrices of same dimension $$M,N$$ and scalar $$c,$$ which one of these properties DOES NOT ALWAYS hold ?

The minimum eigenvalue of the following matrix is $$\left[ {\matrix{ 3 & 5 & 2 \cr 5 & {12} & 7 \cr 2 & 7 & 5 \cr } } \right]$$

Let $$A$$ be an $$m\,\, \times \,\,n$$ matrix and $$B$$ an $$n\,\, \times \,\,m$$ matrix. It is given that determinant $$\left( {{{\rm I}_m} + AB} \right) = $$determinant $$\left( {{{\rm I}_n} + BA} \right),$$ where $${{{\rm I}_k}}$$ is the $$k \times k$$ identity matrix. Using the above property, the determinant of the matrix given below is $$\left[ {\matrix{ 2 & 1 & 1 & 1 \cr 1 & 2 & 1 & 1 \cr 1 & 1 & 2 & 1 \cr 1 & 1 & 1 & 2 \cr } } \right]$$
