0606/12/M/J/22 — Question 6 · 7 marks

The polynomial p(x)=6x3+ax2+6x+bp(x) = 6x^{3} + ax^{2} + 6x + b, where aa and bb are integers, is divisible by 2x12x - 1. When p(x)p(x) is divided by x2x - 2, the remainder is 120120.
(a)
Find the values of aa and bb.
[4]
(b)
Hence write down the remainder when p(x)p(x) is divided by xx.
[1]
(c)
Find the value of p(0)p''(0).
