Question 1.1:
Given f(x)=2x3+px2+qx+1f(x) = 2x^3 + px^2 + qx + 1.
When f(x)f(x) is divided by x+1x+1, the remainder is 5.
When f(x)f(x) is divided by x−2x-2, the remainder is also 5.
Determine the values of pp and qq.

Step 1: Apply the Remainder Theorem for the first condition.
According to the Remainder Theorem, if f(x)f(x) is divided by x−ax-a, the remainder is f(a)f(a).
For division by x+1x+1, we have a=−1a = -1. The remainder
