Let $$A$$ be a $$2 \times 2$$ real matrix and $$I$$ be the identity matrix of order 2. If the roots of the equation $$|\mathrm{A}-x \mathrm{I}|=0$$ be $$-1$$ and 3, then the sum of the diagonal elements of the matrix $$\mathrm{A}^2$$ is

Let $$\mathrm{D}_{\mathrm{k}}=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}1 & 2 k & 2 k-1 \\ n & n^{2}+n+2 & n^{2} \\ n & n^{2}+n & n^{2}+n+2\end{array}\right|$$. If $$\sum_\limits{k=1}^{n} \mathrm{D}_{\mathrm{k}}=96$$, then $$n$$ is equal to _____________.

Let $$A=\left[\begin{array}{lll}0 & 1 & 2 \\ a & 0 & 3 \\ 1 & c & 0\end{array}\right]$$, where $$a, c \in \mathbb{R}$$. If $$A^{3}=A$$ and the positive value of $$a$$ belongs to the interval $$(n-1, n]$$, where $$n \in \mathbb{N}$$, then $$n$$ is equal to ___________.
