A polynomial p(x)p(x) is ax3+8x2+bx+5ax^{3} + 8x^{2} + bx + 5, where aa and bb are integers. It is given that 2x12x - 1 is a factor of p(x)p(x) and that a remainder of 25-25 is obtained when p(x)p(x) is divided by x+2x + 2.
(i)
Find the value of aa and of bb.
[5]
(ii)
Using your values of aa and bb, find the exact solutions of p(x)=5p(x) = 5.
