Answer:

a = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

given x = - 1 is a zero then f(- 1) = 0 , that is

a(- 1)³ - (- 1)² - 1 + 4 = 0

- a - 1 - 1 + 4 = 0

- a + 2 = 0 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

- a = - 2 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

a = 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I wonder if it is the minus that is causing the problem?

Let x = - 5

3*(-5) - 9

-15 - 9

This is a money question. If you are 15 dollars in debt and you spend another 9, where are you? (In the company of the American government. They do this all the time).

- 15 - 9 = - 24
