The rank of $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2 & 1 & 1 \\ 0 & 3 & -1 \\ 1 & -1 & 1\end{array}\right]$ is

Let $\Delta = \begin{vmatrix} \sin \theta \cos \phi & \sin \theta \sin \phi & \cos \theta \\ \cos \theta \cos \phi & \cos \theta \sin \phi & -\sin \theta \\ -\sin \theta \sin \phi & \sin \theta \cos \phi & 0 \end{vmatrix}$. Then:

Let $f(x) = \left| \begin{array}{ccc} 2\cos^2 x & \sin(2x) & -\sin x \\ \sin(2x) & 2\sin^2 x & \cos x \\ \sin x & -\cos x & 0 \end{array} \right|$. Then,evaluate $\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} [f(x) + f'(x)] dx$.

If $a_1, a_2, a_3, \dots, a_n$ form a geometric progression,find the value of the determinant: $\left| \begin{array}{ccc} \log a_n & \log a_{n+1} & \log a_{n+2} \\ \log a_{n+3} & \log a_{n+4} & \log a_{n+5} \\ \log a_{n+6} & \log a_{n+7} & \log a_{n+8} \end{array} \right|$.

If $\Delta(x) = \begin{vmatrix} x-2 & (x-1)^2 & x^3 \\ x-1 & x^2 & (x+1)^3 \\ x & (x+1)^2 & (x+2)^3 \end{vmatrix}$,then the coefficient of $x$ in $\Delta(x)$ is:

If the matrix $A=\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1 & 2 & 3 & 0 \\ 2 & 4 & 3 & 2 \\ 3 & 2 & 1 & 3 \\ 6 & 8 & 7 & \alpha\end{array}\right]$ is of rank $3$,then $\alpha$ equals to
