3.26: Polynomial factor and remainder

0606/13/O/N/22 — Question 4 · 7 marks

The polynomial p(x)p(x) is such that p(x)=ax3+13x2+bx+cp(x) = ax^{3} + 13x^{2} + bx + c, where aa, bb and cc are integers. It is given that p(0)=9p'(0) = -9.
(a)
Show that b=9b = -9.
[1]
(b)
It is also given that 3x+23x + 2 is a factor of p(x)p(x) and that when p(x)p(x) is divided by x+1x + 1 the remainder is 66.
Find the values of aa and cc.
[4]
(c)
Find the quadratic q(x)q(x) such that p(x)=(3x+2)q(x)p(x) = (3x + 2)\,q(x).
[1]
(d)
Hence find p(x)p(x) as a product of linear factors with integer coefficients.
