If $\omega $ be a complex cube root of unity, then $\left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&\omega &{ - {\omega ^2}/2}\\1&1&1\\1&{ - 1}&0\end{array}\,} \right| = $

If the system of equations, $x + 2y - 3z = 1$, $(k + 3)z = 3,$ $(2k + 1)x + z = 0$is inconsistent, then the value of $ k$  is

In a third order determinant, each element of the first column consists of sum of two terms, each element of the second column consists of sum of three terms and each element of the third column consists of sum of four terms. Then it can be decomposed into $n $determinants, where $ n$  has the value

Let $\alpha $ and $\beta $ be the roots of the equation $x^2 + x + 1 = 0.$ Then for $y \ne 0$ in $R,$ $\left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
{y\, + \,1}&\alpha &\beta \\
\alpha &{y\, + \,\beta }&1\\
\beta &1&{y\, + \,\alpha }
\end{array}} \right|$ is equal to

For non zero, $a,b,c$ if $\Delta = \left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{1 + a}&1&1\\1&{1 + b}&1\\1&1&{1 + c}\end{array}} \right| = 0$, then the value of $\frac{1}{a} + \frac{1}{b} + \frac{1}{c} = $

If the system of equations, $a^2 x - ay = 1 - a$ & $bx + (3 - 2b) y = 3 + a$ possess a unique solution $x = 1, y = 1$ then :
