Let $\beta$ be a real number. Consider the matrix $A = \begin{bmatrix} \beta & 0 & 1 \\ 2 & 1 & -2 \\ 3 & 1 & -2 \end{bmatrix}$. If $A^7 - (\beta - 1)A^6 - \beta A^5$ is a singular matrix,then the value of $9\beta$ is:

The number of solutions of the system of equations $2x + y - z = 7$,$x - 3y + 2z = 1$,and $x + 4y - 3z = 5$ is:

For the system of linear equations
$2x + 4y + 2az = b$
$x + 2y + 3z = 4$
$2x - 5y + 2z = 8$
which of the following is $NOT$ correct?

Let $\alpha$ be a solution of $x^2+x+1=0$,and for some $a$ and $b$ in $\mathbb{R}$,$\begin{bmatrix} 4 & a & b \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 16 & 13 \\ -1 & -1 & 2 \\ -2 & -14 & -8 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$. If $\frac{4}{\alpha^4} + \frac{m}{\alpha^a} + \frac{n}{\alpha^b} = 3$,then $m + n$ is equal to

Use the product $\left[\begin{array}{lll}1 & -1 & 2 \\ 0 & 2 & -3 \\ 3 & -2 & 4\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{lll}-2 & 0 & 1 \\ 9 & 2 & -3 \\ 6 & 1 & -2\end{array}\right]$ to solve the system of equations:
$x-y+2z=1$
$2y-3z=1$
$3x-2y+4z=2$

If the system of simultaneous linear equations $x+\lambda y-2 z=1$,$x-y+\lambda z=2$,and $x-2 y+3 z=3$ is inconsistent for $\lambda=\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$,then $\lambda_1+\lambda_2=$
