If $$A,B,C$$ are square matrices of the same order then $${\left( {ABC} \right)^{ - 1}}$$ is equal be

If $$A$$ is any $$nxn$$ matrix and $$k$$ is a scalar then $$\left| {kA} \right| = \alpha \left| A \right|$$ where $$\alpha $$ is

The number of terms in the expansion of general determinant of order $$n$$ is

The equation $$\left[ {\matrix{ 2 & 1 & 1 \cr 1 & 1 & { - 1} \cr y & {{x^2}} & x \cr } } \right] = 0$$ represents a parabola passing through the points.
