How do i learn more about mathematics even though we usually do study island and its lesson are sometimes to much to take

Given that (x-3) is a factor of f(x)=x^3+ax^2-x-6, find a and hence the number of real roots or the equation f(x)=0

The function y= x - 4x+ 5 approximates the height, y, of a bird, and its horizontal distance, x, as it flies from one fence post to another. all distances are in feet. complete the square to find and interpret the extreme value (vertex). select two answers: one extreme value and one interpretation.
