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

Define x :
--------------------------------------------------
Let Cheryl be x years old.
Cheryl = x
Lisa = x + 6
--------------------------------------------------
In two years time:
--------------------------------------------------
Cheryl = x + 2
Lisa = x + 8
--------------------------------------------------
Lisa will be twice as old as Cheryl :
--------------------------------------------------
x + 8 = 2(x + 2)
--------------------------------------------------
Solve x :
--------------------------------------------------
x + 8 = 2(x + 2)
x + 8 = 2x + 4
x = 4
--------------------------------------------------
Find their age :
--------------------------------------------------
Cheryl = x = 4
Lisa = x + 6 = 4 + 6 = 10
--------------------------------------------------
Answer: Lisa is 10 years old now.
