1. Answer:

   since -1 is zero of the polynomial then, by substituting the value i.e., -1 in the equation

   a * (-1)³ -(-1)²+(-1)+4 = 0

   -a -1 -1 +4 = 0

   -2 +4 = a

   2 = a is the answer of your question

2. Answer:

   a=2

   Step-by-step explanation:

   =p(-1)=a*(-1)^3-(-1)^2+(-1)+4=0

   =p(-1)=-1a-1-1+4=0

   =-a-2+4=0

   =-a+2=0

   =-a=-2

   =a=2
