Let $A = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & b & 1 \\ b & b^2+1 & b \\ 1 & b & 2 \end{bmatrix}$ where $b > 0$. Then the minimum value of $\frac{\det(A)}{b}$ is

Let $A^{-1} = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2017 & 2 \\ 1 & 2017 & 4 \\ 1 & 2018 & 8 \end{bmatrix}$. Then,$|2A| - |2A^{-1}|$ is equal to

For a $3 \times 3$ matrix $M$,let $\text{trace}(M)$ denote the sum of all the diagonal elements of $M$. Let $A$ be a $3 \times 3$ matrix such that $|A|=\frac{1}{2}$ and $\text{trace}(A)=3$. If $B=\operatorname{adj}(\operatorname{adj}(2A))$,then the value of $|B|+\text{trace}(B)$ equals:

If $a, b, c$ and $d$ are complex numbers,then the determinant $\Delta = \begin{vmatrix} 2 & a+b+c+d & ab+cd \\ a+b+c+d & 2(a+b)(c+d) & ab(c+d)+cd(a+b) \\ ab+cd & ab(c+d)+cd(a+b) & 2abcd \end{vmatrix}$ is

Let $A = \begin{bmatrix} 4 & -2 \\ \alpha & \beta \end{bmatrix}$. If $A^2 + \gamma A + 18I = O$,then $\operatorname{det}(A)$ is equal to

If $A$ is a square matrix of order $3$ and $A^2+A+2I=0$,then
