Answer:
none
Step-by-step explanation:
If (x + h) is a factor of f(x) then f(- h) = 0
Given
f(x) = + x³ - x² + x - 1
If (x + 1) is a factor then f(- 1) = 0
f(- 1) = + (- 1)³ - (- 1)² + (- 1) - 1 = 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 = - 3 ≠ 0
Thus (x + 1) is not a factor
If (x - 1) is a factor then f(1) = 0
f(1) = + 1³ - 1² + 1 - 1 = 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 = 1 ≠ 0
Thus (x - 1) is not a factor

Answer:
(-3, 1) quadrant II (2)
Step-by-step explanation:
An image of the coordinate plane is show. The quadrants start at the top right and move around in the counter-clockwise direction. The x-axis is horizontal (side to side) and y-axis is vertical (up and down). Starting at the origin of the coordinate plane (0, 0) and going three blocks west (left) would put you at -3 on the x-axis. If you then proceed to go north (up) +1, you would now be at point (-3, 1) which is a (-x, +y) or in quadrant II.
