The polynomial 3x 3 + 2x 2 + ax + b, where a and b are constants,
Question:
The polynomial 3x3 + 2x2 + ax + b, where a and b are constants, is denoted by p(x). It is given that (x − 1) is a factor of p(x), and that when p(x) is divided by (x − 2) the remainder is 10.
i. Find the values of a and b.
ii. When a and b have these values, solve the equation p(x) = 0.
