If A and B are two square matrices of the same order such that $\mathrm{AB}=\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{BA}=\mathrm{B}$, then $(\boldsymbol{A}+\boldsymbol{B})^2$ is equal to:

If $x=4$ is a root of $\left|\begin{array}{cc}x & 3 \\ 1 & x-2\end{array}\right|=5$, then the other root is:

Given $A=\left(\begin{array}{ll}1 & 2 \\ 2 & 3\end{array}\right)$ and $f(x)=x^2-2 x-3$ then $f(A)$ is:

Given $P=\left[\begin{array}{lll}2 & \boldsymbol{\alpha} & 1 \\ 1 & 2 & 2 \\ 1 & 3 & 3\end{array}\right]$ is the adjoint of a $3 \times 3$ matrix A and $|A|=3$, then the value of $\boldsymbol{\alpha}$ is:
