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

The graph below represents which of the following functions?
erica [24]

This is a more difficult one to explain. Let's start with the line to the right.  It has a slope (m) of \frac{-2}{2} = -1 and a y-intercept of +3 (continue the line to see where it crosses the y-axis). So, the equation of that line is: y = -x + 3 when x ≥ 2. This can also be written as y = 3 - x when x ≥ 2.  The only option that has that equation is A.

Answer: A
