If $A = \begin{vmatrix} x & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & x & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & x \end{vmatrix}$ and $B = \begin{vmatrix} x & 1 \\ 1 & x \end{vmatrix}$,then $\frac{dA}{dx}$ is equal to

The rank of $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1 & -1 & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & -1 \\ -1 & 1 & 1\end{array}\right]$ is

Let $A=\begin{bmatrix} -1 & -2 & -3 \\ 3 & 4 & 5 \\ 4 & 5 & 6 \end{bmatrix}$, $B=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -2 \\ -1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}$ and $C=\begin{bmatrix} 2 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 2 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 2 \end{bmatrix}$. If $a, b$ and $c$ respectively denote the ranks of $A, B$ and $C$, then the correct order of these numbers is:

If the matrix $A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 3 & 0 \\ 2 & 4 & 3 & 2 \\ 3 & 2 & 1 & 3 \\ 6 & 8 & 7 & \alpha \end{bmatrix}$ is of rank $3$, then $\alpha$ equals to

Let $A = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & -2 & -4 \\ -1 & 3 & 4 \\ 1 & -2 & x \end{bmatrix}$ and $A^2 = A$. If $r$ is the rank of $A$, then $r + x =$

$f(x) = \left| \begin{array}{ccc} \sin^2 x & -2 + \cos^2 x & \cos 2x \\ 2 + \sin^2 x & \cos^2 x & \cos 2x \\ \sin^2 x & \cos^2 x & 1 + \cos 2x \end{array} \right|, x \in [0, \pi]$. The maximum value of $f(x)$ is equal to $.....$
