Part a· 3 steps
Find the values of the constants and .
Use the Remainder Theorem.
When is divided by , the remainder is 18. This means .
Substitute into :Divide by 3:
Use the Factor Theorem.
Given that is a factor of , this means .
Substitute into :Solve the system of linear equations.
We have two equations:
Subtract equation (**) from equation (*):
Substitute into equation (**):
The values of the constants are .
Part b(x+1)(2x-3)(x+4)
Factorise completely.
Write the polynomial with the found constants.
Use synthetic division to divide by .
Since is a factor, we divide by .
-1 | 2 7 -7 -12 | -2 -5 12 ------------------ 2 5 -12 0The quotient is .
So, .Factorise the quadratic quotient .
We look for two numbers that multiply to and add up to 5. These numbers are 8 and .
Write the complete factorisation of .
The complete factorisation is .
