If    A = $$\left[ {\matrix{ { - 4} & { - 1} \cr 3 & 1 \cr } } \right]$$,

then the determinant of the matrix (A²⁰¹⁶ − 2A²⁰¹⁵ − A²⁰¹⁴) is :

If P = $$\left[ {\matrix{ {{{\sqrt 3 } \over 2}} & {{1 \over 2}} \cr { - {1 \over 2}} & {{{\sqrt 3 } \over 2}} \cr } } \right],A = \left[ {\matrix{ 1 & 1 \cr 0 & 1 \cr } } \right]\,\,\,$$

Q = PAP^T, then P^T Q²⁰¹⁵ P is :

The number of distinct real roots of the equation,

$$\left| {\matrix{ {\cos x} & {\sin x} & {\sin x} \cr {\sin x} & {\cos x} & {\sin x} \cr {\sin x} & {\sin x} & {\cos x} \cr } } \right| = 0$$ in the interval $$\left[ { - {\pi \over 4},{\pi \over 4}} \right]$$ is :

If $$A = \left[ {\matrix{ {5a} & { - b} \cr 3 & 2 \cr } } \right]$$ and $$A$$ adj $$A=A$$ $${A^T},$$ then $$5a+b$$ is equal to :
