If $$A = \left[ {\matrix{ a & b \cr b & a \cr } } \right]$$ and $${A^2} = \left[ {\matrix{ \alpha & \beta \cr \beta & \alpha \cr } } \right]$$, then

If $$1,$$ $$\omega ,{\omega ^2}$$ are the cube roots of unity, then

$$\Delta = \left| {\matrix{ 1 & {{\omega ^n}} & {{\omega ^{2n}}} \cr {{\omega ^n}} & {{\omega ^{2n}}} & 1 \cr {{\omega ^{2n}}} & 1 & {{\omega ^n}} \cr } } \right|$$ is equal to

If the system of linear equations
$$x + 2ay + az = 0;$$ $$x + 3by + bz = 0;\,\,x + 4cy + cz = 0;$$
has a non - zero solution, then $$a, b, c$$.

The area of the region bounded by the curves $$y = \left| {x - 1} \right|$$ and $$y = 3 - \left| x \right|$$ is :
