If $$\left|\begin{array}{lll}x & x^2 & 1+x^3 \\ y & y^2 & 1+y^3 \\ z & z^2 & 1+z^3\end{array}\right|=0$$ and $$x, y$$ and $$z$$ are all distinct, then $$x y z$$ is equal to

Let A be a $$n\times n$$ matrix such that A is upper-triangular. Then, $$adj (A)$$ is equal to

If $$f(x)=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}x & x^2 & x^3 \\ 1 & 2 x & 3 x^2 \\ 0 & 2 & 6 x\end{array}\right|$$, then the ratio $$f^{\prime \prime}(x): f^{\prime}(x)$$ is equal to

The trace of the matrix $$A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1 & -5 & 7 \\ 0 & 7 & 9 \\ 11 & 8 & 9\end{array}\right]$$ is
