Let AAA be a 3×33 \times 33×3 real matrix such that A2(A−2I)−A^2(A-2 I)-A2(A−2I)− 4( A−I)=O4(\mathrm{~A}-\mathrm{I})=\mathrm{O}4( A−I)=O, where I and O are the identity and null matrices, respectively. If A5=αA2+βA+γIA^5=\alpha A^2+\beta A+\gamma IA5=αA2+βA+γI, where α,β\alpha, \betaα,β and γ\gammaγ are real constants, then α+β+γ\alpha+\beta+\gammaα+β+γ is equal to:
