For any odd integer $$n$$ $$ \ge 1,\,\,{n^3} - {\left( {n - 1} \right)^3} + .... + {\left( { - 1} \right)^{n - 1}}\,{1^3} = ........$$

The real numbers $${x_1}$$, $${x_2}$$, $${x_3}$$ satisfying the equation $${x^3} - {x^2} + \beta x + \gamma = 0$$ are in AP. Find the intervals in which $$\beta \,\,and\,\gamma $$ lie.

Find the intervals of value of a for which the line y + x = 0 bisects two chords drawn from a point $$\left( {{{1\, + \,\sqrt 2 a} \over 2},\,{{1\, - \,\sqrt 2 a} \over 2}} \right)$$ to the circle $$\,\,2{x^2}\, + \,2{y^2} - (\,1\, + \sqrt 2 a)\,x - (1 - \sqrt 2 a)\,y = 0$$.

A circle passes through three points A, B and C with the line segment AC as its diameter. A line passing through A angles DAB and CAB are $$\,\alpha \,\,and\,\,\beta $$ respectively and the distance between the point A and the mid point of the line segment DC is d, prove that the area of the circle is $$${{\pi \,{d^2}\,\,{{\cos }^2}\,\,\alpha } \over {{{\cos }^2}\,\alpha \, + \,{{\cos }^2}\,\beta \, + \,\,2\,\cos \,\,\alpha \,\,\cos \,\beta \,\cos \,\,(\beta - \alpha )\,}}$$$
