Let $A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 3 & 1 & 0 \\ 9 & 3 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$ and $B = [b_{ij}], 1 \leq i, j \leq 3$. If $B = A^{99} - I$, then the value of $\frac{b_{31} - b_{21}}{b_{32}}$ is:

If $A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 3 \\ 2 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$,then the determinant of $A^2 - 2A$ is

Let $A = \begin{bmatrix} \alpha & -1 \\ 6 & \beta \end{bmatrix}$,$\alpha > 0$,such that $\operatorname{det}(A) = 0$ and $\alpha + \beta = 1$. If $I$ denotes the $2 \times 2$ identity matrix,then the matrix $(I + A)^8$ is:

If $A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2 & 0 & -3 \\ 4 & 3 & 1 \\ -5 & 7 & 2\end{array}\right]$ is expressed as a sum of a symmetric matrix $P$ and a skew-symmetric matrix $Q$,then $P^{T}-Q^{T}=$

Let $A = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 & 2 \\ a & 0 & 3 \\ 1 & c & 0 \end{bmatrix}$,where $a, c \in \mathbb{R}$. If $A^3 = A$ and the positive value of $a$ belongs to the interval $(n-1, n]$,where $n \in \mathbb{N}$,then $n$ is equal to $..........$.

Let $\alpha$ be a root of the equation $(a-c)x^2 + (b-a)x + (c-b) = 0$,where $a, b, c$ are distinct real numbers such that the matrix $\begin{bmatrix} \alpha^2 & \alpha & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & 1 \\ a & b & c \end{bmatrix}$ is singular. Then the value of $\frac{(a-c)^2}{(b-a)(c-b)} + \frac{(b-a)^2}{(a-c)(c-b)} + \frac{(c-b)^2}{(a-c)(b-a)}$ is:
