Let A be a 3 $$\times$$ 3 real matrix. If det(2Adj(2 Adj(Adj(2A)))) = 2⁴¹, then the value of det(A²) equal __________.

If $$A = \left[ {\matrix{ 1 & 1 & 1 \cr 0 & 1 & 1 \cr 0 & 0 & 1 \cr } } \right]$$ and M = A + A² + A³ + ....... + A²⁰, then the sum of all the elements of the matrix M is equal to _____________.

For real numbers $$\alpha$$ and $$\beta$$, consider the following system of linear equations :

x + y $$-$$ z = 2, x + 2y + $$\alpha$$z = 1, 2x $$-$$ y + z = $$\beta$$. If the system has infinite solutions, then $$\alpha$$ + $$\beta$$ is equal to ______________.

Let $$f(x) = \left| {\matrix{ {{{\sin }^2}x} & { - 2 + {{\cos }^2}x} & {\cos 2x} \cr {2 + {{\sin }^2}x} & {{{\cos }^2}x} & {\cos 2x} \cr {{{\sin }^2}x} & {{{\cos }^2}x} & {1 + \cos 2x} \cr } } \right|,x \in [0,\pi ]$$. Then the maximum value of f(x) is equal to ______________.
