If $$f(x) = \left\{ {\matrix{ { - x - {\pi \over 2},} & {x \le - {\pi \over 2}} \cr { - \cos x} & { - {\pi \over 2} < x \le 0} \cr {x - 1} & {0 < x \le 1} \cr {\ln x} & {x > 1} \cr } } \right.$$, then

Let $$f:(0,1) \to R$$ be defined by $$f(x) = {{b - x} \over {1 - bx}}$$, where be is a constant such that $$0 < b < 1$$. Then

Let L be a normal to the parabola y² = 4x. If L passes through the point (9, 6), then L is given by

Let M be a 3 $$\times$$ 3 matrix satisfying $$M\left[ {\matrix{ 0 \cr 1 \cr 0 \cr } } \right] = \left[ {\matrix{ { - 1} \cr 2 \cr 3 \cr } } \right]$$, $$M\left[ {\matrix{ 1 \cr { - 1} \cr 0 \cr } } \right] = \left[ {\matrix{ 1 \cr 1 \cr { - 1} \cr } } \right]$$ and $$M\left[ {\matrix{ 1 \cr 1 \cr 1 \cr } } \right] = \left[ {\matrix{ 0 \cr 0 \cr {12} \cr } } \right]$$. Then the sum of the diagonal entries of M is ___________.
