Let A and B be two 3 $$\times$$ 3 real matrices such that (A² $$-$$ B²) is invertible matrix. If A⁵ = B⁵ and A³B² = A²B³, then the value of the determinant of the matrix A³ + B³ is equal to :

Let $$A = \left[ {\matrix{ 1 & 2 \cr { - 1} & 4 \cr } } \right]$$. If A^$$-$$1 = $$\alpha$$I + $$\beta$$A, $$\alpha$$, $$\beta$$ $$\in$$ R, I is a 2 $$\times$$ 2 identity matrix then 4($$\alpha$$ $$-$$ $$\beta$$) is equal to :

The number of distinct real roots

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

If $$P = \left[ {\matrix{ 1 & 0 \cr {{1 \over 2}} & 1 \cr } } \right]$$, then P⁵⁰ is :
