Select the correct answer. Exponential function f is represented by the table. x -2 -1 0 1 2 f(x) -46 -22 -10 -4 -1 Function g is represented by the equation. Which statement correctly compares the two functions on the interval [-1, 2]? A. Only function f is increasing, and only function f is negative. B. Only function f is increasing, but both functions are negative. C. Both functions are increasing, but function f increases at a faster average rate. D. Both functions are increasing, but function g increases at a faster average rate.

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
