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 probability of the event total is equal to the multiplication of the probabilities of the smaller events that conform it. So we have the probability of 1/2 for heads over tails, and 1/4 of blue out of 4 colors, therefore, the total probability is:
p = (1/2)(1/4)
p = 1/8

26

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the smallest integer  

n

. Then the next two consecutive integers are  

n

+

1

and  

n

+

2

.

"Sum of twice the smallest and 3 times the largest is 126"

2

(

n

)

+

3

(

n

+

2

)

=

126

2

n

+

3

n

+

6

=

126

5

n

+

6

=

126

5

n

=

120

n

=

24

So the smallest integer is  

24

.

The three consecutive integers are then:  

24

,  

25

, and  

26

.
