When it says the "x - 1 " is the factor of that function means when you find the root of the phrase x - 1 which is x = 1 , put it in the function then you have to get zero for the answer :

thus :

[tex]f(1) = 0[/tex]

Thus :

[tex]2 \times {1}^{3} + k(1) - 9 = 0[/tex]

So :

[tex]2 + k - 9 = 0[/tex]

[tex]k - 7 = 0[/tex]

Add both sides 7

[tex]k - 7 + 7 = 0 + 7[/tex]

[tex]k = 7[/tex]

There you go...

Have a great day ❤
