    Answer:

    k = 3

    Step-by-step explanation:

    If x-1 is a factor of x³ – 3x² + kx – 1 then value of x is 1.

    f (x ) = x³ – 3x² + Kx – 1 , then

    plug 1 as x in the expression.

    • f ( 1) = ( 1)³ – 3 ( 1)² + k (1) – 1 = 0

    expand exponents

    • 1 – 3 + k – 1 = 0

    combine like terms

    • -3 + k = 0

    Add 3 to both side

    • k = 3

    Answer:

    { \bf {factor : { \tt{x - 1}}}} \\ x - 1 = 0 \\ x = 1 \\ { \tt{f(x) =  {x}^{3}  -  {3x}^{2}  + kx - 1}} \\ { \tt{f(1)  :  {(1)}^{3}  - 3 {(1)}^{2}  + k(1) - 1 = 0}} \\ { \tt{k - 3 = 0}} \\ { \tt{k = 3}}
