If $f(x) = \left| \begin{array}{ccc} x^3 - x & a + x & b + x \\ x - a & x^2 - x & c + x \\ x - b & x - c & 0 \end{array} \right|$,then:

The number of distinct real roots of $\left|\begin{array}{lll}\sin x & \cos x & \cos x \\ \cos x & \sin x & \cos x \\ \cos x & \cos x & \sin x\end{array}\right|=0$ in the interval $-\frac{\pi}{4} \leq x \leq \frac{\pi}{4}$ is

If there exists a $k^{\text{th}}$ order non-singular submatrix in a matrix $P$ of order $m \times n$,then the rank $(\rho)$ of $P$

Let $f(x) = \begin{vmatrix} \cos x & x & 1 \\ 2 \sin x & x^2 & 2x \\ \tan x & x & 1 \end{vmatrix}$. Then $\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{f'(x)}{x} =$

The trace of a square matrix is defined as the sum of its diagonal entries. If $A$ is a $2 \times 2$ matrix such that the trace of $A$ is $3$ and the trace of $A^3$ is $-18$,then the value of the determinant of $A$ is:

If $A = \begin{bmatrix} \sqrt{2020} & \sqrt{2021} & \sqrt{2022} & \sqrt{2023} \\ \sqrt{4040} & \sqrt{4042} & \sqrt{4044} & \sqrt{4046} \\ \sqrt{6060} & \sqrt{6063} & \sqrt{6066} & \sqrt{6069} \\ \sqrt{8080} & \sqrt{8084} & \sqrt{8088} & \sqrt{8092} \end{bmatrix}$,then the rank of $A$ is
