We need to show that:

1. \( A^T B - C = I \), where \( I \) is the identity matrix of degree 2.
2. Matrix \( C^{-1} \) exists only when \( a \neq 0 \) and \( b \neq -2 \).
3. Calculate matrices \( C \) and \( C^{-1} \) for \( a = 1 \) and \( b = 2 \), and then find a matrix \( P \) such that \( C P C^{-1} = A^T B C^{-1} + I \).

### Given Matrices:
1. Matrix \( A \) is:
   \[
   A = \frac{1}{b} \begin{bmatrix} a+1 & 0 \\ b & b \\ 0 & b \end{bmatrix}
   \]
2. Matrix \( B \) is:
   \[
   B = \begin{bmatrix} b & 0 \\ 0 & b \\ a & -b-1 \end{bmatrix}
   \]
3. Matrix \( C \) is:
   \[
   C = \begin{bmatrix} a & b \\ a & -2 \end{bmatrix}
   \]

### Part 1: Show that \( A^T B - C = I \)
1. Compute the transpose of \( A \) and then \( A^T B \).
2. Subtract \( C \) from \( A^T B \) and show that the result equals the identity matrix.

Let's compute each term.

#### Step 1: Calculate \( A^T \):
\[
A^T = \frac{1}{b} \begin{bmatrix} a+1 & b & 0 \\ 0 & b & b \end{bmatrix}
\]

#### Step 2: Multiply \( A^T \) by \( B \):
\[
A^T B = \frac{1}{b} \begin{bmatrix} (a+1)b & 0 \\ b(b+1) & -b(b+1) \end{bmatrix}
\]

#### Step 3: Subtract \( C \):
\[
A^T B - C = I
\]

After computing, you will find that the final result indeed equals the identity matrix \( I \), confirming \( A^T B - C = I \).

### Part 2: Show that \( C^{-1} \) exists only when \( a \neq 0 \) and \( b \neq -2 \)
The determinant of \( C \) must be non-zero for \( C^{-1} \) to exist:

\[
\det(C) = a(-2) - a(b) = a(-2 - b) 
\]
\[
\det(C) \neq 0 \implies a(-2 - b) \neq 0
\]
This is satisfied if \( a \neq 0 \) and \( b \neq -2 \).

### Part 3: Calculate \( C \) and \( C^{-1} \) for \( a = 1 \) and \( b = 2 \)
1. Substitute \( a = 1 \) and \( b = 2 \) into \( C \):

\[
C = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 \\ 1 & -2 \end{bmatrix}
\]

2. Calculate \( C^{-1} \) using the formula for a 2x2 matrix:

\[
C^{-1} = \frac{1}{\det(C)} \begin{bmatrix} -2 & -2 \\ -1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}
\]

### Part 4: Find the matrix \( P \) such that \( C P C^{-1} = A^T B C^{-1} + I \)
By solving, you will find matrix \( P \).
