Three points $(p + 1, 1)$,$(2p + 1, 3)$ and $(2p + 2, 2p)$ are collinear,if $p =$

Evaluate the determinant: $\left|\begin{array}{cc}2 & 4 \\ -5 & -1\end{array}\right|$

$\left|\begin{array}{lll}24 & 25 & 26 \\ 25 & 26 & 27 \\ 26 & 27 & 27\end{array}\right|$ is equal to

If $a, b, c$ are sides of $\triangle ABC$ and $\begin{vmatrix} a & b & c \\ b & c & a \\ c & a & b \end{vmatrix} = 0$,then $\sin^2 A + \sin^2 B + \sin^2 C = $ . . . . . . .

Let $\sigma_1, \sigma_2, \sigma_3$ be planes passing through the origin. Assume that $\sigma_1$ is perpendicular to the vector $(1, 1, 1)$,$\sigma_2$ is perpendicular to a vector $(a, b, c)$,and $\sigma_3$ is perpendicular to the vector $(a^2, b^2, c^2)$. What are all the positive values of $a, b$,and $c$ so that $\sigma_1 \cap \sigma_2 \cap \sigma_3$ is a single point?

If $A = \begin{bmatrix} 5 & 5\alpha & \alpha \\ 0 & \alpha & 5\alpha \\ 0 & 0 & 5 \end{bmatrix}$ and $\operatorname{det}(A^2) = 25$, then $|\alpha| = $
