The solutions of the equation $\left| \begin{array}{ccc} x & 2 & -1 \\ 2 & 5 & x \\ -1 & 2 & x \end{array} \right| = 0$ are

The value of $\det A$, where $A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & \cos \theta & 0 \\ -\cos \theta & 1 & \cos \theta \\ -1 & -\cos \theta & 1 \end{bmatrix}$, lies

Given that, $a \alpha^2+2 b \alpha+c \neq 0$ and that the system of equations
$\begin{aligned} & (a \alpha+b) x+a y+b z=0 \\ & (b \alpha+c) x+b y+c z=0 \\ & (a \alpha+b) y+(b \alpha+c) z=0\end{aligned}$
has a non-trivial solution, then $a, b$ and $c$ lie in

The values of $\alpha$,for which $\left|\begin{array}{ccc}1 & \frac{3}{2} & \alpha+\frac{3}{2} \\ 1 & \frac{1}{3} & \alpha+\frac{1}{3} \\ 2 \alpha+3 & 3 \alpha+1 & 0\end{array}\right|=0$,lie in the interval

$\left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}a&b&c\\b&c&a\\c&a&b\end{array}} \right| = $

$f(x)$ is an $n^{\text{th}}$ degree polynomial satisfying $f(x) = \frac{1}{2} \begin{vmatrix} f(x) & f(\frac{1}{x}) - f(x) \\ 1 & f(\frac{1}{x}) \end{vmatrix}$. If $f(2) = 33$,then the value of $f(3)$ is
