Let
\( A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & \alpha & \beta \\ 0 & \beta & \alpha \end{bmatrix} \)
and \(|2A|^3 = 2^{21}\) where \(\alpha, \beta \in \mathbb{Z}\). Then a value of \(\alpha\) is:
\(|A| = \alpha^2 - \beta^2\)
We know that:
\(|2A| = 2^3 |A| = 2^{21} \Rightarrow |A| = 2^4 = 16\)
\(\alpha^2 - \beta^2 = 16\)
Factor as \((\alpha + \beta)(\alpha - \beta) = 16\).
Possible integer solutions for \((\alpha, \beta)\) that satisfy the equation give \(\alpha = 4\) or \(\alpha = 5\).
Since \(\alpha = 5\) satisfies the condition, we choose \(\alpha = 5\).
So, the correct answer is: 5
Let \( y = f(x) \) be the solution of the differential equation
\[ \frac{dy}{dx} + 3y \tan^2 x + 3y = \sec^2 x \]
such that \( f(0) = \frac{e^3}{3} + 1 \), then \( f\left( \frac{\pi}{4} \right) \) is equal to:
