Let A be a 3 × 3 matrix such that A^T [1; 0; 1] = [5; 2; 2], A^T [0; 0; 1] = [3; 1; 1], A [1; 0; 1] = [3; 4; 4] and A [0; 0; 1] = [1; 3; 1]. If det (…
Let $\displaystyle A$ be a $\displaystyle 3 \times 3$ matrix such that
$$\mathrm{A}^{\mathrm{T}}\left[\begin{array}{l}
1 \\
0 \\
1
\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{l}
5 \\
2 \\
2
\end{array}\right], \mathrm{A}^{\mathrm{T}}\left[\begin{array}{l}
0 \\
0 \\
1
\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{l}
3 \\
1 \\
1
\end{array}\right], \mathrm{A}\left[\begin{array}{l}
1 \\
0 \\
1
\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{l}
3 \\

4
\end{array}\right] \text { and } \mathrm{A}\left[\begin{array}{l}
0 \\
0 \\
1
\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{l}
1 \\

1
\end{array}\right] .
$$
If $\displaystyle \operatorname{det}(\mathrm{A})=1$, then $\displaystyle \operatorname{det}\left(\operatorname{adj}\left(\mathrm{A}^2+\mathrm{A}\right)\right)$ is equal to:
