If $a > 0$ and the discriminant of $ax^2 + 2bx + c$ is negative,then $\left| \begin{array}{ccc} a & b & ax + b \\ b & c & bx + c \\ ax + b & bx + c & 0 \end{array} \right|$ is

Let three matrices $A = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 1 \\ 4 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$,$B = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 4 \\ 2 & 3 \end{bmatrix}$,and $C = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & -4 \\ -2 & 3 \end{bmatrix}$. Then find the value of $Tr(A) + Tr\left( \frac{ABC}{2} \right) + Tr\left( \frac{A(BC)^2}{4} \right) + Tr\left( \frac{A(BC)^3}{8} \right) + \dots + \infty$.

If $\omega$ is an imaginary cube root of unity,then the value of $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1 & \omega^{2} & 1-\omega^{4} \\ \omega & 1 & 1+\omega^{5} \\ 1 & \omega & \omega^{2}\end{array}\right]$ is

If $A$ and $B$ are two square matrices such that $B = -A^{-1}BA$,then $(A + B)^2 = $

If the matrix $M_r$ is given by $M_r = \begin{bmatrix} r & r-1 \\ r-1 & r \end{bmatrix}$ for $r = 1, 2, 3, \ldots$, then $\det(M_1) + \det(M_2) + \ldots + \det(M_{2008}) = $

If $A$ and $B$ are two non-zero $n \times n$ matrices such that $A^2 + B = A^2 B$,then:
