Suppose $A$ is any $3 \times 3$ non-singular matrix and $(A - 3I)(A - 5I) = O$,where $I = I_3$ and $O = O_3$. If $\alpha A + \beta A^{-1} = 4I$,then $\alpha + \beta$ is equal to

For some $\alpha, \beta \in R$, let $A = \begin{bmatrix} \alpha & 2 \\ 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}$ and $B = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 \\ 1 & \beta \end{bmatrix}$ be such that $A^{2} - 4A + 2I = B^{2} - 3B + I = O$. Then $(\text{det}(\text{adj}(A^{3} - B^{3})))^{2}$ is equal to ....

Let $X = \left\{ \begin{bmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{bmatrix} : a, b, c, d \in \mathbb{R} \right\}$. If $f: X \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is defined by $f(A) = \det(A)$ for all $A \in X$, then $f$ is

If $\left| \begin{array}{ccc} a & a^2 & 1 + a^3 \\ b & b^2 & 1 + b^3 \\ c & c^2 & 1 + c^3 \end{array} \right| = 0$ and the vectors $\vec{a} = (1, a, a^2)$,$\vec{b} = (1, b, b^2)$,and $\vec{c} = (1, c, c^2)$ are non-coplanar,then $abc$ is equal to

If $A$ and $B$ are $3 \times 3$ matrices such that $AB = A$ and $BA = B$,then

If $S = \{x \in [0, 2\pi] : \begin{vmatrix} 0 & \cos x & -\sin x \\ \sin x & 0 & \cos x \\ \cos x & \sin x & 0 \end{vmatrix} = 0\}$,then $\sum_{x \in S} \tan \left( \frac{\pi}{3} + x \right)$ is equal to
